2012 Jerez pre-season testing Day 1
Heikki Kovalainen has a mainly white design, along with the light green he has used in the past two years.
Felipe Massa has kept the Brazilian flag he had in the 2011 Brazilian GP, on the back of the top part of the helmet. Also, on the right side of the helmet, near the back, he has a sort of Chinese dragon.
Kamui Kobayashi has added more details to his helmet, and also swithced to a chrome varnish.
Pastor Maldonado has decided to use one of the helmets he used last year, where red and yellow feature predominantly, but added a sparkly silver background.

Thanks @fixy , good to see some update as I haven’t had the time looking for helmets myself yet. How did you make the helmet on your avatar?

I’d love to design a helmet some day.

Here’s one that one of my favourite artists did for Scott Dixon for the 2011 Indy 500:

@fixy Schumacher has that same Dragon motif on his helmets.

#
Fixy said 1 year, 3 months ago:

@pjtierney I instantly thought of Schumacher, but the two dragons seem slightly different (too small to tell, but Massa’s seems more complex).

I don’t know why but I like new Perez’s helmet design. It’s atractive.

And Heikki’s helmet calssic ,a bit changed,style is very cool,I think.

Its’s so nice to find a topic about helmets! They are my hobby. I also design them. (If you’re interested, just pm me or visit my site: http://j3arthdesigns-en.weebly.com/index.html)

They are the expression of ones personality in my opinion. Its so nice to see drivers use the same design through years. To be honest I don’t like Vettels method to change the design from race to race. What do you think?

I loved Alonso’s Monaco design, as well as the other special designs.
