It could just be an immersion thing (he is probably wearing seatbelts for this reason too) or it could be that without the helmet you see some of screen edges and reducing the field of vision with a helmet keeps you from seeing these uncovered parts.
I figured the immersion thing myself, but you're right in that it might be to limit any extraneous visual input that would break concentration/illusion.
Plus it occurs to me, don't the top of the line simulators toss you around in a very realistic way that could cause you to hit your head?

Back on topic, IT Lab is now a McLaren Technology Centre partner. The article doesn't really say anything about the race team but I guess money is money.

This is great. I like it a lot. I don't think any other team uses Volvo trucks so it is exclusive :D

you can only win titles if you've got an exlusive truck supplier. so that's one very important step towards the 2016 title :D

Good discussion about simulators. I know Trini is not a fan ( :P ), but after getting noticed on it, I'll be splitting that discussion from the mclaren honda team thread. The discussion does actually deserve its own topic.

Snatched from Lotus. I guess they didn't want to wait for Renault to buy the team...

Sponsorship wise McLaren are more or less the same as last year then with Chandon replacing JW and Richard Mille replacing TAG. Wasn't as bad as I first thought it would be.
Friendship with Honda ended, Renault is my new (and more reliable) friend.

Chandon was already there last year.
