    Thanks SonyJunkie, I’m glad you posted that, I didn’t watch FP1 but heard he had a new helmet so I was just going to start looking but found it here first. Yeah I agree though, I don’t like it, his old one was great.

    Edit: Aw rubbish, I forgot I’m on Tom’s laptop, this is Katy but I can’t be bothered to sign out of Tom’s account as I don’t know my password.

    “Ayrton Senna has a great design for a helmet, thankfully nobody’s been lazy or unimaginative enough to just copy it.”

    Bruno? Although I guess if anyone should be allowed to copy it, it’s him…

    Oh dear that helmet looks awful. The whole point was that it’s a union jack and now it looks absolutely rubbish.

    Epic Fail.

    Just after it had been discussed here that he hadn’t McLaren-ised his helmet like Heikki and Fernando, he’s changed it :-(

    Agreed Tommy/Katy – It used to be a Union Flag and that was the point, none of this new thing or that vile yellow crap he had last season!

    I really like Jenson design but now hes changed it so it looks “square” IMO it looked better before. I love how Lewis’ helmets stands i can tell its him the second i see it.

    Buemi was also running a special helmet which features the world cup football on the top.

    I like Massa’s helmets since 2007, more particularly from Brazil 2007, and I like Alonso’s this year. I like Vettel’s helmets with the Red Bull chequers all grey, like Germany 2009. Also Liuzzi’s and De La Rosa’s.

    I really like Trulli’s predominantly red lid. But I’m a bit fan of Jenson’s original helmet this season.

    Chandhok, Glock, Sutil and Di Grassi’s are mank.

  • Profile picture of Steph90 Steph90 said 2 years, 9 months ago:

    I wouldn’t say Sutil’s is mank just utterly, utterly boring :P

  • Profile picture of GeeMac GeeMac said 2 years, 9 months ago:

    True. Based on the “Secret Life of Adrian Sutil” thing on F1.com, he seems like a bit of a boring chap though, so it’s not surprising!

    We all hate him, but I gotta give props to Yammy’s helmet: it’s original and colorful.

    Heikki always pulls off a cool helmet, and this year’s tops off last year’s.

    Fauzy and Koby also have nice color schemes…

    I do like the contrasting Mercedes helmets against the silver..infact I think I like the Mercedes livery the most.

    Seeing Rosberg so vivid when I was at Silverstone was amazing!
