I am a racing manager at Bell Helmets, working with F1 drivers. My job is to prepare helmets for all of our drivers and try to find new ones, who want to use Bell helmets in Formula 1.
This year we work in F1 with Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, Kimi Raikkonen, Antonio Giovinazzi, George Russell, Nicolas Latifi, Romain Grosjean, Kevin Magnussen, Esteban Ocon, Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez.
We work closely with drivers on an individual basis to give them the best package possible regarding cooling and visibility. Plus we liaise with the teams, always trying to improve the aero package and make the car faster, even using small spoilers and wings on the helmet. We can even develop some aero parts together with engineers.
My race weekend schedule…
Usually I leave home on Wednesday night to make sure I’m at the track early in the morning on Thursday. Most of the time I carry up to eight of the drivers’ helmets with me, which we couldn’t send to the track with their teams for various reasons.
My first job is to prepare all the helmets for the weekend. Normally I would ready for each driver two helmets for dry weather and one for wet. If the forecast says it is going to be rainy weekend, I’d make it the other way around.
The two dry helmets have different visors, one of them is dark. For example in Barcelona when the sun is very low, you just cannot see the track properly with a normal one.
DjLuiJay discovered his passion for DJ and music at an early age of 7 when he witnessed a DJ doing the turntables and mixer, and there was no looking back from then on. Finally, at the age of 17, DjLuiJay got the major break and landed himself a ticket to Hollywood. He worked in famous Hollywood Clubs and eventually led to an On-Air DJ for the radio station, clubs, birthday parties, weddings, quinceañeras, and high school events. After researching famous DJs like DJ Qbert, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Am, and DJ E-Man and further embracing them, he created his style and sound that people loved and enjoyed listening to. The struggle he has faced is matching prices and competing with other DJs or companies around the area. Sometimes DJs are valued so low that other DJs that have already put in so much sweat, work, and time, sometimes say yes or take a job for an amount that is not fair. He believes that by providing excellent customer service, building relationships, and getting to know what the customer or client wants, he can deliver and execute his best and provide them with the best experience. If they like what they hear, most likely, they will never look for another DJ. He play Reggaeton, Hip-hop, Top40s Cumbia, Bachata, Salsa, Merengue, 80s – 90s and make remixes.
