    My avatar’s a bit of a difficult one to explain. I have imagined what my helmet design would look like and basically it would have a dark blue base (slightly lighter than the one Damon Hill used but not much), five bright yellow crescents around the sides and a purple key on the top. My avatar is derived from that imaginary idea and put into a vaguely elliptical shape.

    Quite why I ended up imagining the moons and key should be on the helmet is anyone’s guess.

    My avatar is now Kimi Raikkonen’s 2009 helmet, to celebrate his return and wish him good luck for 2012.

    My avatar is Juan Manuel Fangio, driving a Maserati at the 1957 French GP (at Rouen-les-Essarts). It was his second last race victory in the year he took his fifth championship. I don’t know why we are staring our eyes out to the Vettels and Alonsos of today, because the man won almost half of the races he ever participated in. Also his ability to smell oppurtunities at different teams is legendary, winning races for 4 different car manufacturers (Alfa, Ferrari, Mercedes, Maserati). So that’s why.

    Mine is a chat between experienced World Champ Senna and newbie Schumacher, maybe the two greatest drivers of all time.

    My one is basically me in the Los MiniDrivers style – I just used my helmet design and A1 Team GBR overalls.

    My Avatar is Jenson and myself, that is me on the left…! . I am a member of Team McLaren and was chosen to go to the McLaren Technology Centre for a tour and meet Jenson in 2010, when he was World Champion. It was an awsome experience, I actualy got to sit in the F1 trainer, a multi gym in the shape of an F1 car is the best description, Lewis had been in it the day before….It needed a little adjustment for me…!
    The MTC is a totally stunning place, we stood right next to the cars in the prep bays being made ready for Spa four days later, then saw them wheeled out to the transport. I was speechles.

    Jenson was a real top bloke, chatting to us, having a coffee, pics and signed stuff for us, before he had to go back to the simulator for another session at Spa.

    As a real bonus, I got speaking to Neil Trundle about the MP4-1. If you do not know who he is, Google or You Tube him. All I can say is that he is the most facinating, knowledgable, enthusiastic and friendly man I have ever met in sport. Top bloke.

    What a day…!

    As a tribute to a great driver, and to wish him good luck for the hard task he faces, I put Kimi’s 2012 helmet as my avatar.
    As soon as I saw Kimi in the Lotus for the first time, I fell in love with his helmet, and quickly made a picture of it. I also drew it today.
