"VISM"
The shirt is short for "VISM" which stands for 'Vital Signs Monitor' and this has come about through a collaboration between Marelli and OMP Racing. Apart from being fire resistant, this shirt is also equipped with a system that can read vital signs from the driver and communicate them to people at the pit wall.

That VISM shirt is amazing and can give early warning if a driver has unusually high heart beat etc and pit crew can call the driver in.
I've seen something similar in science fiction films where crew from spaceship are out and about in breathing gear having their vital signs monitored from hq.
