Do you think all of the motogp (moto 2 and 125) riders are in that meeting too?! only so many things you can do with that huge logo think marc marquez has it on the front and it looks pretty good.

I tend to use the camera mount colour, I find it’s usually easier to see, especially from a distance.

(obviously not from the back)

Hi Keith

Could you perhaps get a picture of the back of Hamilton’s helmet. I saw he has some sort of picture on the back, and I’d like to see what it is. Thanks for a great website!

And to “Brawn”, perhaps you should find out why his helmet is yellow in the first place…

Lewis’ (Lewser) helmet is by far the worst, trying to pass himself off as senna.

For as much money as Formula 1 drivers make, and as hip and young they are, they really need to take a look a AMA motocross stars helmets because all of these are freakin’ lame!!! Seriously, the only one that has any design on it is the crown of Kimi’s helmet… and whats with the advertising all over their helmets- It’s too much and F1 teams need to realize you can’t put a sticker on every single piece of physical matter and expect people to really become die-hard about them. It’s a shame really. Give the drivers back their helmets… people will buy stuff if they like the personality of the driver and that is why they pay for the sponsorships anyway- they want to latch onto the drivers popularity. I’d go into how poorly cars are stickered/painted up, but its just too much… suffice it to say the India car looks like some sort of funland/mexican christmas nightmare.

In summary, I’ve been disappointed in the drivers helmets for a long long time and Heidfeld’s new green helmet is actually quite boring and, being a Kimi fan, I’m disappointed that someone who has tatoo’s doesn’t have more personality on his helmet.

Glocks helmet is fantastic, although it does have that sort of ‘motorcross’ feel to it.

Kubica’s colour scheme looks like he is going for a job at McLaren. Could this be a hint of things to come ?

The 4 x red bull helmets will all look like they are driving around with a can of Red Bull on their heads. Yikes.

I’m not keen on the red on top of Nando’s, but I LOVE the Aces. There’ll be another one to add to that pair soon, I’m sure.

I think though, that I’m going to vote for – now there’s an idea Keith, set up a poll for best helmet – Fisi. Clean lines, uncluttered and that ectoplasm green is just awesome.
