(loud engine noises)
- Welcome back to What's Inside.
I'm Lincoln and this is Dan.
- We're at the F1 race in Singapore.
We brought an F1 actual helmet.
We gotta see what's inside of it.
These things are legit. It's
not like a NASCAR helmet
or like a bike helmet
'cause these guys are driving
100's of mile per hour.
Their heads are sticking
out of the actual car.
It's super dangerous.
If you watch some of the
wreck videos on YouTube,
they will have a car that will go over
the top of them so this thing's
extremely light but it's
aerodynamic, it's carbon fiber
and its made just for these
racers to keep them safe.
We're going to watch the
race for a few hours tonight.
It's actually one of
the practice rounds and
we're going to come
back every single night
until Sunday with the actual competition.
So we're going to give you some shots of
the practice rounds here.
We won't show the actual race.
If you've never seen F1 racing
in person like I haven't
before an hour ago, I highly recommend it.
It's ridiculously amazing.
(electronic music)
(drum beats)
- We're just about done for the night.
It's been a blast, time to head back.
Get Lincoln to bed.
They didn't have a boat for another hour.
So they just grabbed this guy, hi.
- Hello.
- Bye everybody.
- Tell us "wave"
- Thanks for your hospitality.
(electronic music)
- Hello from me.
- We're back in America from Singapore.
The trip was incredible,
the crowd was impressive.
They knew what was going on.
They were cheering for the race drivers.
- We didn't know what was going on.
- We really didn't
- We just liked the cars going super fast.
It was really cool.
- So we filmed a lot while we were there.
We did a couple of live
streams that are on our second
channel which we'll put
link in the description.
First hard helmets that were
created and were mandatory
for F1 racing was in 1950.
But what I thought was
interesting is that NASCAR,
where their head's not out of the car,
they didn't require full
face helmets until 2001
after Earnhardt died.
And so they do some
crazy testing with this.
They'll shoot metal pieces at this
at 500 kilometers an
hour and they can't make
very big holes in it
for it to be certified.
Back in 2009, there was a
driver that was cruising along,
a spring fell off the car in
front of him, it hit his visor
at 160 miles an hour and
it went through the visor,
hit his head and caused
serious head injuries.
The heat test they do on
this is pretty ridiculous.
They take this helmet and
they put it in a 800 degree Celsius flame
and inside of the helmet can't
exceed 70 degrees of heat.
There's one tool that I needed
that I could not find in
Singapore anywhere so we
didn't cut the helmet open.
- (groans) A sledgehammer.
- A giant sledgehammer.
- [Lincoln] It's pretty heavy.
- If this thing is
supposed to be so strong,
I'm going to hit it with
the sledgehammer right on
top on concrete and see
if we can crack it open.
Sledgehammer time first.
(Hammer Time)
- [Lincoln] Did it work?
- Didn't crack it.
Wow nothing, it bent in a little
bit but it didn't do anything.
(playful music)
- Man that thing is tough.
The ultimate sledgehammer hit.
The plastic thing is coming off the top.
I dented it, ouch.
That would hurt if that was the driver.
Well what the heck Lincoln,
I'm doing another one.
Scratched the bottom, cracked that part.
This is too much fun.
I probably shouldn't tell
you how much this thing cost.
(Lincoln yells in the background)
Look at that craziness.
Sledgehammer, right into helmet.
Look how it just collapsed, down.
- [Lincoln] Whoa!
- [Dan] Oh my gosh, feel
it, reach down in there.
- [Lincoln] What?
- It's a miracle.
- [Dan] You wanna give it a hit?
- Uh-huh.
- [Dan] Lincoln's giving it a go.
Nope, wow, impressive.
- [Lincoln] Hey, look I did some damage.
- [Dan] Honestly I was surprised
that we got through it.
You guys are probably going
to say, well yeah, you took a
sledgehammer to it, of
course it went through.
But still these things are
meant to be super tough.
This thing pumps in 10 liters
of oxygen during the race and
it filters out brake dust, and
oil, and everything so that
those guys can breathe fresh air.
Even when you're at the race track,
you often smell the brake powder.
You'll get rubber in your hair.
I would like to break it down
a little bit more so we can
just open it up and see what's inside.
- [Lincoln] Yeah, just hit
it a couple more times.
I don't think you need a saw.
- Hopefully this is a no saw video.
Cut to a music beautiful
montage of me destroying this.
(electronic music)
Whoa!
(heavy beat music)
Woooo!
Oh man, that was crazy!
We beat it up pretty good.
Sledgehammer work is not easy.
Well it's easy for
people who have muscles.
And don't sit around filming videos and
editing all day and night.
So, yeah, definitely 2017
resolution, work out.
(soft music)
- [Lincoln] Ow that hurts!
- [Dan] Wow, all that
came from one helmet.
You've got the layer of padding.
That's the fire protecting kevlar.
That looks just like the inside of our
bullet proof vest video.
We'll link the bullet proof vest video
on that card up above.
But this looks just like
it, it's just one layer.
So this is really just the carbon fiber
and the plastic layer.
And then the second layer is this kevlar.
The third layer is this stuff
right here that Lincoln had.
It's pretty tough, it's not
like your usual Styrofoam.
You can see right there
this is a model HP7,
date of manufacture, June 2016.
So this is in compliance with
the F1 FIA racing standards.
Alright there's your visor.
Man.
- Uh, it's pretty cool,
I like it but maybe
just get a prototype.
- Yeah, you can buy the
replicas that are painted.
Oh, interesting fact.
The race drivers their
helmets are going to look
different than this because
they get custom paint on them
and the regulations say that
they can only paint them one time a year.
So as soon as they come to the first race
with their helmet that way--
- That's going to be their
whole helmet for the whole year.
- Yeah, the whole year.
Let us know, would you
like us to do another
race type video?
And if so, what would
you like us to cut open?
Where would you like us to go?
We went to Singapore for this
one. We were there doing some
live streaming with some other YouTubers.
We're going to link to a
playlist and you can go watch the
other creators and the videos
they made from Singapore.
