Guess Who?

Yuk!

The helmet as such is not bad I think but for Alonso?? :eek:

Why something on his helmet that reminds German flag? For Mercedes? :)

its crap! honestly, it looks woeful.... it looks like a belmet you borrow when you hire a go kart at your local track... yuk

I've seen a couple of things said elsewhere about this design:

1 - it's based on a design Alonso used when karting
2 - it's a photoshop fake

:confused: :crazy:

Excellent observation! The level of corporate influence is so pervasive! IMHO it degrades the spirit of the sport! All sport. Excuse me; I come from a time when athletes didn't need to wring every advertising penny out of their equipment. The silly thing is, it is probably in his contract to wear these logos. The ads may bring in money to the sport it adorns. But the cost of this type of activity is always proportionately passed on to the consumer!

Otherwise it just looks like a piece of gear that protects his melon!

Indeed. :dozey:

Looks like they're all at it.

I'm a rare exception here, but I have nothing against Alonso's helmet. :)

Maybe it's because I like German flag and things, where white is a dominant color (like 2006 BMW F1 car). :p :
