I like Massa’s the best. Bold colours, and effective use of the design.
Kie said on 3rd April 2011, 1:50
Fantastic Post Kieth, I’m a graphic Designer myself- though I’ve never designed anything quite like this….
Button’s is good, Shuey’s not as good as it should be… the winner for me is Maldonado, and Heidfeld’s a close second as it works with the livery…
Lets face it all the designs are Garish to say the least, such is the format….
Narain Karthikeyan is the worst, perhaps aptly.. looks like an off the shelf job…
personally I’d like to see a minimal design, recon it’d have more impact

Hamilton has the most votes so far (49). I guess this explains why he is so popular – everyone likes his helmet! ;)

Quick Nick for me.
AK said on 3rd April 2011, 4:28
Hamilton and Button’s helmets are amongst the most boring; don’t know how anyone can vote for them. I like Heidfeld, Kamui, Alguersuari, Liuzzi, Schumacher.
Osvaldas31 (@osvaldas31) said on 3rd April 2011, 10:20
I voted for Schumacher’s helmet, but it’s clear that those ugly sponsorship logos ruin helmet design. I miss Raikkonen’s helmet – it was really impressive.

For me it was between Heidfeld, Kova and D’Ambrosio. I chose D’Ambrosio-nice combo of colours just looks simple and elegant.
Crispin said on 3rd April 2011, 11:09
I like
Petrovs helmet
Kovalainens helmet
Liuzzis helmet
Buemis helmet

I just notcied DiRestas has a Italian flag on it, but no Scottish… which reminds me, Coulthards was good

I like Alonso’s n Button’s :D
JUGNU (@jugnu) said on 3rd April 2011, 16:48
Voted for Hamilton’s Helmet. Always reminds me of Senna’s Yellow helmet. Also like Schumacher’s red helmet.
Klaas said on 3rd April 2011, 17:28
1. Vettel
2. Kobayashi
3. Kovalainen
This is my top 3. The ones of Alonso, Hamilton, Massa are nice too but their design is so old that I got sick of them. Anyways the best helmet design I ever seen was Kimi’s when he was driving for Ferrari.
foleyger (@foleyger) said on 3rd April 2011, 19:52
I went for Webber. Heiki’s is the worst
