Because when tires fly, they tend to kill people. At least with a helmet you stand a chance of surviving. The helmet not so much.

Shit can get crazy in the paddock. This car lit up after it pulled in injuring 31 and hospitalizing 7. It’s just dudes in shorts trying to fight the fire. I’m glad they’ve improved safety since then.

Engineers and back room staff don’t wear helmets. The only ones wearing helmets are the drivers, the pit crews and the marshalls. The pit crew and marshalls wear them because they have to enter a live race track and there are often instances of them being injured.
