Carbon Fiber saves Fernando Alonso’s life

The key on the pilot´s accident was the carbon fiber recovering the survival cell and the pilot’s cabin (cockpit). Both parts of the Formula 1 car are constructed from composite sheets of this material and can reach up to 60 layers in a honeycomb structure.
