Chanhoks is quite cool too if not a bit random

But if we’re looking at F1 only, I’d say Hamilton and Massa, I like the bright coloured helmets

The two merc drivers are easy to tell apart thanks to their helmets…
10th June 2010, 6:15 at 6:15 am #135132GeorgeParticipantI think Kubica’s has to be my favourite this year
10th June 2010, 6:24 at 6:24 am #135133HarvsParticipanti think di grassi’s is real cool, and kubica’s carbon fiber testing helmet.

10th June 2010, 9:14 at 9:14 am #135135jonnyw360f1ParticipantI’m sorry, but it’s got to be JB!

He’s got the whole initials/union flag thing going on, better than last year! :)
10th June 2010, 9:17 at 9:17 am #135136Steph90MemberMassa’s. I generally hate the Schuberth shape but for some reason I like it on Felipe’s. To be fair though Massa never really changes his so it’s my favourite of 10, 09, 09 07 etc too :P
JB’s has grown on me. Jaime’s is good. I miss Jarno’s shiny helmets (http://i47.tinypic.com/280sh9c.jpg) . From Monaco he’s used a one from his F3 days but it was a nice design. http://i50.tinypic.com/2vs0roj.jpg
Hamilton’s Monaco one was a bit full at the top for me but I liked the idea http://i48.tinypic.com/dhg4ub.jpg
Liuzzi had a jazzy Monaco design too http://i49.tinypic.com/15mjwhu.jpg
Seb’s was cool too although when it comes to Monaco I prefer a more outrageous design myself http://i46.tinypic.com/an07r6.jpg
I like Senna’s and Petrov’s this year too. http://i50.tinypic.com/29ynrwo.jpg
Sutil’s is the most boring and I don’t like Kubica’s either.
Also Harv’s I adore your avatar. Really nice design. It reminds me of JB’s a bit.
10th June 2010, 11:46 at 11:46 am #135137Dan ThornParticipantI like Schumacher and Rosbergs. Traditional Mercedes silver coupled with dayglow yellow and red/orange is brilliant. Alonso’s is quite nice and I like JB’s as well.
10th June 2010, 11:54 at 11:54 am #135138Tom L.ParticipantSteph – I also miss Jarno’s shiny red helmets! He should bring back that design, definitely.
10th June 2010, 12:57 at 12:57 pm #135139Prisoner MonkeysParticipantI think Button, Glock, Petrov and Alguersuari have the best helmets. Button, because it’s just got a certain old-school elegance to it. Glock, because he’s got a white and gold combination going on that looks awesome. Petrov, because his is simple and means something to him. And Alguersuari because his just looks mean.
I’m not a fan of Sutil’s because it’s a mess. Nor do I like Kubica’s, Rosberg’s, Vettel’s or any other driver who runs in team colours because it looks soulless (I was releived whn JB switched back for this year, though the 2009-spec white, black and yellow did look pretty good). I don’t like Rubens Barrichello’s habit of changing his design every other race, either.
10th June 2010, 13:22 at 1:22 pm #135140TommyBParticipantAgree plushpile,
I like drivers with Helmets that really stand out. Hamilton’s is great as it stands out loads, same with Buttons although I hated it when he made it in the Brawn colours, the original test shots he had matt union jack colours and it looked really cool.
Ferrari drivers helmets also stand out loads which I think is great. So many people change their helmet to match the car, Heikki is the prime example of this.

Saying that I do think they are cool designs.
10th June 2010, 20:42 at 8:42 pm #135141AnonymousInactiveThe idea was a bit cheesy but I did like Jenson’s British GP helmet from last season… https://www.racefans.net/2009/06/18/jenson-button-to-use-fans-helmet-design/
10th June 2010, 23:03 at 11:03 pm #135142EnigmaParticipantI really liked that Jenson’s helmet, probably the best in his career (in my opinion).
11th June 2010, 21:41 at 9:41 pm #135143RatboyKeymasterJBs is good, its stayed pretty much the same since he entered F1 (bar Brawn last year)
Vettel changes his helmet too much so its hard to keep up with which one is which :p
