Driver's Helmets - to helmet you!!
The subject of designs on drivers helmets has irked me for some time. I do not remember when it began but most of the driver’s helmets today are incredibly “busy” and the recognition that once was so easy – and happily so – is no longer there.
While a driver such as Button’s is amongst the most recognizable, Raikkonen’s helmet is to me just downright indescribable.
Also, I do not like it when drivers change their design from race to race – such as Jenson’s at Silverstone and that his personal sponsor now takes up the entire top of his “lid”.
Its so exciting to identify a driver in race a long time ago – such as an f3 or f2 or f3000 race – a good picture of the start for example.
What do you all think of this?
I know I am an old school purist but in my view a driver’s helmet is like his signature and it identifies him when nothing else around him is identifiable.Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D
