McLaren boss Ron Dennis has revealed that his team's pit crew is wearing Japanese-made hitoe wearable sensor clothing at this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix.
The move is to aid the pit crew and help them complete stops quicker, by allowing them to get a clear picture of their physical condition.
Hitoe, developed by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp, and Toray Industries Inc., is a textile that can sense specific biological information, yet it can be worn and washed like any other normal clothing.
While this weekend is just a trial, Dennis aims to have the technology implemented into his team "when the system is perfected," which could be as early as next year.
