Collaboration avec Bell Helmets Europe.


The collaboration between Bell and myself, has been planned in December 2007 in Barcelona during the winter testing in F1.

I met Stephan and Michael Kintd race track Montmelo Barcelona when I attended the winter testing with Honda F1 racing and my friends Jacky Eeckelaert.

We sat in the hospitality Honda, and Stephan told me he was interested in that Sebastien Buemi and Jules Bianchi wear helmets Bell, I told him that it was no longer my responsibility too, as is Buémi with Red Bull and Bianchi with Todt, I told Buémi and Stephan has contacted them himself in 2008 the two drivers were driving with helmets Bell: Buémi in F1 and Bianchi F3 Euro Series.

We discussed at length over coffee and some sweets served by charming hostesses Honda, and after explaining to Stephan how I proceeded, identifying talent as early as possible from an early age, we understood that we were complementary Bell to promote its products, and help me for drivers.

In 2008, Brandon Maisano (Fr) wore helmets Bell karting and car, the benefits were immediate, as the pilot KF3 dominated all season, ditto for the car, the media saw the much talked great performance of this driver.

Benjamin Gerard (Fr) Champion of France and Charles Leclerc Minimum (MB) Vice Champion (2008), went to Bell helmets in 2009 was Charles Leclerc who won the junior championship of France.

Olivier Palmaers (Be) hope the young Belgian motorsport to win the Belgian championship in 2008 and 2009 Mini, and dominated the first race of the Belgian championship in Mariembourg KF5 2010 course with Bell Helmets.

The Swiss Michael Heche and French Thomas Ferrando are also helmets Bell in 2010 Hêche won the Winter Cup in Lonato.

Two other talents joined Bell in 2009, the French and Anthony Coudert Norwegian Ellegard Martin who will also no doubt the brand colors on the highest podium.

The results of our collaboration is more than positive, just look in the paddock pilots equipped with the Bell helmet and other through competition; especially in the KF3 category and below, the trend is reversed, because until This was the opposite.

For me, working with the team of Bell Helmets and Stephan Kintd, only the positive, they are very attentive to detail, be quality products, seeking perfection in the paintings small details that make the beauty of the helmet, if necessary with the outline of several projects for the team while Bell should be perfect imperative !

Finishing a helmet is very important because it is the only element that all people who follow motor sports remember, always a plus for the career of a pilot who wants to attract sponsors.
