Talking about Formula One technology...
I'm tired to see some F-1 pages talking about how they evolute in terms of drivers safety, by comparing racing suits of 60's to today's nomex.
To start, nomex it's still a sh...t for gloves, and Simona de Silvestro and Tony Kanaan (indy but using same clothes as F1 today) got burns on hands (specially Silvestro) even the fire being put out quickly.
Nomex is used in Indy races since 60's, despite wasn't in so many layers or good fitting as today. Formula one used it (not mandatory) since early 70's (Jack Stewart used multi layers since 1973 or earlier), but nomex got mandatory only after Lauda's firery crash in 1976.
The pages also said that before Lauda crash they just used cotton, forgetting about Stewart's clothes, and also forgeting that was cotton treated with proban (a chemical fire retardant).
40 years later and the nomex gloves are still a crap.
Also, onboard fire extinguisher existed on F-1 since early 70's, and I didn't saw any onboard firte extinguisher activated in SImona SIlvestro's fire or Kanaan fire.
