eli5- Why do F1 engineers and other back room staff not even involved in the action wear helmets?

In: 3

Answer 1

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.
