Michael Schumacher´s gold-plated helmet, Spa, 2011 "20 years F1"

- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Michael Schumacher (Mercedes GP Petronas), will be celebrating yet another historical first at the Grand Prix of Spa-Francorchamps: Twenty years after his debut in the premiere division of his sport, the 42 year old is still racing as an active driver.
His star launched its incredible ascent on 25 August 1991. On 28 August 2011 it will truly shine in gold.
Helmet manufacturer Schuberth will present 7-time world champion Michael Schumacher with a special helmet to commemorate the day in grand style -- with 21-carat gold plating.
This Movie shows the "Making of" this very special helmet, plated with 21-carat gold from applying this rare metal to the final assembly by our Schuberth race mechanic.
i had the oprtunity to be in the chinese GP in 2011 and see Schumacher racing
passing by.. was a special feeling as a race fan to see the legend
elias mora I bet
I was there 2006, watching him catching Fisichella and Alonso for the win. Too bad he got an engine issue while leading the next race and lost the title.
this guy must be really good at putting on screenshields
It must be really special to see your creation on the track worn by Michael Schumacher
Probably one of the best one off helmets in F1... along with Vettel's helmet at the Japanese Grand Prix,Kimi's 2013 James Hunt tribute helmet and Lewis Hamilton's helmet for his last race with McLaren. This definitely is amongst them.
I always liked Vet's Singapore lids.
@@UnseenLive1The LED one is surely the most iconic
He really does deserve a gold helmet. 7 world championships, 20 years in the sport. Sure, he didn't win at Spa. But he started from dead last and finished in 5th. That says quite a lot in itself.
Just amazing attention to detail and craftsmanship. Brilliant.
Really cool craftmanship - it's even more cool now when I read that gold isn't just paint but 21-carat gold plating. Wow! It's a really nice gesture from Schubert for one of the greatest drivers of all times.
Haha, on both sides of the helmet, chinese letters 科琳娜---his wife :D, 吉娜---his daughter, 米克尔---himself，米克---his son
：））））
i think Michael has the chinese letters in the side of the helmet because his last win for the Scuderia was in 2006, chinese gp..Your theory ?
@@edgarbarus1269 makes sense
That was Awesome man ... And that gold plated helmet is the lucky helmet for him.
He was back on the grid and finish up in 5th position, like in 2006 in monaco.
What's with sticking stickers and vinyl - wearing fabric gloves that give off fibers? That Petronas decal is full of bubbles and imperfections - really spoils an immaculate piece of craftmanship.
noxed11 i was banging my head on table when i saw that
+noxed11 The Petronas decal even overlapped the edge...looks awful at 13:33 and 13:38 - I could have done a better job...
+noxed11 its called a hand made. these guys are professional. how perfect is a perfect. do watch other F1 helmet or other custom hand made vids to understand that.
+knddexterutube handmade doesn't mean making obvious mistakes on high value items. That is not perfect - perfection is in the details if you're playing in that elite class. If you've done more than one previously, you should have learnt that wearing those gloves is a no-no with decals, yet the guy just leaves it and is happy with it - not cool. That is an amateur mistake on an otherwise fantastic looking product. He could easily have pulled it off after seeing the mistake and put a new decal on without the gloves.
noxed11 yup i done it many times when i was working at custom paint shop in my prev job. we can argue on this 4ever. but one thing 4sure is that to work for F1 or anything related to it is ONE HELL of a job! n i leave the perfectionist part to you.
Habe erst jetzt das Video entdeckt! Der arme Jens, er muss ja verrückt geworden sein mit dem auflegen des Blattgolds!
Helmet looks gold, 20 years after his GP debut. 🏅
And this, ladies and gentleman, is what I call art.
Numerius Maximus 😂
If it's done good ok but this i cane do better at home
Well... lets have a video then! You can tag me when it is complete. Can't wait!
hahaha good joke I dare you to try
Ive always thought that petronas sticker looked like an afterthought, Stunning bit of work though.
A helmet befitting a legend.
Did you see the Race? 24th to 5th? That's Legendary. He truly is the Greatest formula 1 drive of all time. Ever. Period
Keep fighting Michael!
great craftmanship.
if only he was wearing it when skiing too :(
such irony
dimos k this is not ok, I feel like I'm going to hell for just reading it
dimos k He had a helmet on when he was skiing you fucking idiot
guys, i was always a fan of Shumacher, i did not mean what i said in a bad way.
i said it because the F1 helmets offer you the best possible protection you can get, not because it is gold plated or anything
yes he had a helmet, but it was a skiing helmet, obviously not even close to the protection an F1 helmet can offer you
sorry if it was not clear what i meant
dimos k I tend to agree with you on this point. Arai helmets (which I assume are the ones used by Formula 1 drivers) are known for their strength and durability. Not to mention skiing helmets don't have a chin piece. Your face is basically open to the elements.
Sander Kamp every driver picks the brand of his choice. I see a lot of them using Schuberth helmets. Shumi was using Shuberth too
Love the design of Schuberth Helmets
Living LEGEND! Respect
I have been working on a Schuberth helmet the last couple of days. I will be uploading a video of that this week. :D
the guy who messed up the performance came last and stuck the 'PETRONAS' :D :D
another helmet ruined by the monster energy logo
Dobiecx I disagree. The monster logo actually completes it with the black.
I like he responded to a 5 year old comment. And then you responded to a 2 months old comment, And then I responded to a 1 week old comment.
@@presenttalk7062 and i respond to a 1 year old comment
@@hekholtouthang9695 And I respond to a 2 year old comment.
@@Leonidas___ I responded to a 11 hour ago comment
To say Schumacher is the best driver of all time is stretching it. Probably hand that trophy to Senna. But I still love both drivers and what they bring to F1.
Cannot believe i just watched all of that...
Looks great - just wondering, why is MSC the only Schuberth F1 driver using the old helmet RF1.8, all others use the current SF1 model?
surgical precision... a work of art. thank you for posting this, ill start with mine now, but it wont be as good as this one i dont think.
Fantastic!!!! The craftmanship is amazing! Lets hope Schuey can get a podium this weekend. :)
WOW this is amazing
what a great material to work on
Beautiful!
Achievement Unlocked - Veteran F1
wow, to start with it looked like it was going to end up being like a helmet rapped in easter egg foil.
Imperfections and irregularities everywhere in that gold leaf. They should have made some super fine gold dust and mixed it in with clear coat then sprayed it on the helmet.
i think thats the whole purpose of this hand-made gold plating.
to look "hand-made"
if it was sprayed on it would lose some of the uniqueness in my opinion.
@timeshiftersvk The characters next to the visor are the names of Michael, his wife Corinna, and his two children Gina and Mick.
The big Chinese character on the dragon means "Strength," and the four Chinese characters by either sides are the names of Michael's family members. Left-top: Gina, left-bottom: Corinna, right-top: Mick, and right-bottom: Michael.
Thumbs up so Schumi fans needn't ask anymore.
I was at the practice today at Spa and it was impossible to tell him apart from Rosberg
Schumi...go go go.... waiting to see u on Sunday...
The gold leaf seems really fragile so i was surprised to see that you could just smooth it out with a cloth without ripping it all off...incredible work, i didnt know real gold had been used!.
I started breathing heavily while watching this. I love custom work on any vehicles helmets.
@TheChumb4 -- that achievement must be worth at least 1000 gamer score !
He checked for everything. A party, spa, a helmet. The only thing Schumi didn't check for was having a good set of wheel nuts
Amazing, so much detail and precision.
well I think michael deserve this helmet because he always the golden driver!
This video is asmr to me!
So much effort put into it,AMAZING!
amazing craftsmanship. Oh and schumi did fairly well at the race too!
I'M SURE THIS IS GONNA BE THE NICEST HELMET EVER IN FORMULA1 HISTORY...!
#KeepFightingMichael
Frank Hernandez #KeepFightingMichael
Oddly satisfying
i love watching this stuff..
Jens: ich gratuliere Dir und all deinem Team. Wirklich ein Meisterstueck fuer ein Meisterfahrer!!
MONSTER shouldn't be everywhere!
This video is awesomee!! So beutifull that golden helmet that Michael Schumacher wear in Spa on 2011!!;D
This is incredible
Awesome work done by them. Looks sick.
Also ich muss zugeben ich komme auch aus Deutschland bin zwar kein Schumi Fan,aber der Helm hier ist echt wieder mal klasse hut ab....
Liebe grüsse von einen Ayrton Senna Fanatiker seit 1988 grüsse alle Formel 1 Fans
Yeah was a decent recovery in that race (Spa 2011) especially after his wheel fell off in qualifying ! If only his mechanics would of put the same level of detail into his wheel nut as the guys on this video did into his helmet then he might of even got a podium that day rather than 5th he managed ! But as it stands all he has to show & Add to his collection from his return is one lonely maiden podium pot that he did finally manage to get at Valencia 2012.
Yes! Wheel fell off agin in China 2012, a tool was forgotten in his airbox in Monaco 2012, countless mechanical failurs in the first third of the 2012 championship season and Montreal 2011 was stolen from him through the Red Flag.
That is a helmet worthy a real champ
como se llama ese papel dorado que usas ?
is the monster logo just a sticker?
yes...
pijot sempoi ?
very nice!Schumi is the best!!!!!
Is it supposed to look dirty?
Maybe stained gold
Garrett Orfant it's real gold
Real gold looks like that
Very Good!
@86ntx86 Welcome mate. I did translate them all. The four little Chinese characters on the left and right sides (the ones above and beneath the seven stars) aren't Chinese words and have no meaning, they are simply names written in Chinese characters, Chinese characters which have a similar sound to the original name.
Respect...
I would have loved to have seen the removal and subsequent replacement of the innards.
a helmet for the history.
Nice Job like always Jens :) ....
I want a helmet like this right now!!!
What was the charge to do this helmet?
Great work.
@Kamma8 lol, yeh, rubbing it with an old sock made all the difference
I was going to say a lot of detail went into this helmet till i saw such a shitty finished edge at 11:46 on that snap in top cap then it looked as if the photographer had notice it and panned away never going back to that area again.
That cap is made of plastic and that edge surface is not smooth as the top, that is how it is supposed to look unless you apply plaster to the edge, sand it and paint before the finish,
@@viannarts True but it looks like you was doing such a great looking job on the whole helmet except for that edge. And by not taking the time to sand that edge down smooth and gave it the same amount of detail as you were with the rest of the helmet just done more harm than good for the quality of work. think if you had an item in the body shop to do a great paint finish on it and they did give you the finish you wanted. Till you and your passenger opened the doors to leave but now you notice the door jams look like hell. Do you think any excuse would make it right since it wouldn't have taken that much before hand to sand the ruffness out before the painting? But its yours and your happy then thats all that counts right?
handmade always the best.
@MatthewCeltic1991121 Actually, when he joined Ferrari they were horrible, he helped make them who they are today. Without him, they probably wouldnt be in F1 anymore.
@Lawrence1518 I don't know about the dragon. But the Chinese characters are the Chinese names of his family members, as in their normal names written in Chinese characters. At the left you've got his daughter's name Gina at the top, and his wife's name Corinna at the bottom. Whereas at the right you've got his son's name; Mick. Welcome
There's a difference between gold leaf and gold plating that I'd expect a German to be more precise about.
Nice masking, be really nice to know how Micheal is.
@sofortaufsklo I remember Schuberth somewhere said he´ll get a personal adaption of the SF1 which will be available late season.
Fantastic job
And here I was thinking it was just gold paint...
What did you do with the gold tape you peeled off?
What kind of cloth is he using to smooth out the leaf?
Looks very cool
I recently started using gold leaf on some of my projects and I have a question that hopefully you can help me out with. if I wanted to spray a water based paint out of an airbrush on top of the gold leaf, what do I need to prep the gold leaf for paint on top of it?? obviously I cant sand the gold leaf so do I use a adhesion promoter or do I not need anything and simply spray on top of gold leaf and the paint will stick???????? thank you in advance for any advice
@lazerpod66 The big deal is that driver 12 years his elder came from dead last to 5th place, a feat fare more impressive than buttons drive from 13th (just two places higher than schumi, ya know).
Schubert on the back because thats the only side you will ever see XD
Ich bin stolz auf mein Vaterland und die Weltmeister, die Deutschland wieder und wieder hervorbringt!
Deutschland gleich Motorsportland!!!
Danke für 20 Jahre tollen Motorsport Michael Schumacher!
Gorgeous! and AWESOME

Schuberth are one of Michael's sponsor.

Where to buy golden decor like this ?
The goat the king
1st ASMR in my life
