If you don't watch the race from the start it can be difficult to recognize each driver.If you see them on the grid ,you notice the new design helmet,but if you join the race after the start,it can be difficult ,even the commentators get confused as to who has just stopped at the side of the track etc

Seems a wee bit O.T.T. to regulate helemt design rules, but in many ways I agree with the idea. It is only a recent thing to have drivers change every race, seem to suggest a degree of schizophrenia. It can make things difficult for us mere mortals to keep track of who's-who

It is a Alain Prost's hat... because it is Alain Prost.

This is kind of the point. QED.
'Who' is but the form following the function of 'what' and what an F1 driver is, is a man in a mask. Whilst I'm not questioning people's powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is... from 100 yards away we shouldn't have to.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

I disagree with you.
in your link you see a black T-shaped camera housing

the method most commonly used by teams to tell their cars apart is different colors for the T-shaped camera housing that is mounted on top of the roll-over hoop just behind the drivers head. The benefit of this is that is easy to spot from most angles, even when a driver is in traffic.

So we were looking at a clear, still picture of a very famous driver who hasn't substantially changed his helmet design in 35 years or something. Two committed F1 fans attempted to answer the question and neither correctly identified the driver. Doesn't this tell us that helmet designs are not a terribly effective way of telling who's who?
Legislating helmet designs is utterly ridiculous. If it turns out someone on motorsport.com accidentally posted the "April fools" story 6 weeks early I won't be at all surprised.Last edited by AndyL; 19th February 2015 at 12:03.

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
