Here is a link with all the special design helmets the 5 of the f1 drivers have created for Brazil. Massa's is my fav followed by hamiltons. Liuzzi's is ummm "different"

[ensign14]

Heh, I think Liuzzi's is my favourite of those...

[H2H]

Liuzzi certainly had a good number of great helmet designs. Loved the spaghetti ganster one....

[seltaeb]

I like them all. I think Massa's new helmet looks better than his regular one.

I like both Lewis' and Rubens' Senna tributes. Very cool.

Got a pic?

[Brother Fox]

I googled 'Brazilian helmet' - imagine my surprise

[Iscurrega]

Got a pic?

[flowerdew]

Does it glow in the dark?!?!?! that is fabulous!

[Henrytheeigth]

I think it's a disgrace that massa has been allowed to do 100 gp's lol

[King Six]

Liuzzi's is the best, too bad you get the same old tired Senna circlejerk bullshit and so Lewis and Rubens tops the poll on that site, people never appreciate other things except for what they're told to appreciate

[Wiggy]

Be interesting if it rains, Luizzis helmet will wash away...

This Senna tribute helmet thing is grossly overdone, how many more and for how much longer, really? I like the shine on Massa's new scheme, though. Vettel's is...well, very Vettelesque, couldn't even make out he had a new one for Brazil.

I don't see anything wrong with the Senna tributes, but why all of a sudden this year?

[purplejohn]

I think its slightly overdone but in the case of hamilton he's doing it for the senna foundation so at least its for a good cause.

Vettels is like a lot of his with the red bull colours, i think its all matt colours though when you see it properly which he doesn't always do, it says something on top but i can't tell what

[harrows]

LH special helmet is just his usual Senna bootleg with "Hamilton" written on the back?

[purplejohn]

Almost but hamiltons colour elements on his helmet are Ribbons whereas senna has bars with boarders, the back half is senna front Lewis

Belongs here.

Eh, I saw it earlier, it's a thank you to his mechanics again, but I can't remember the exact phrasing. Something slangy this makes me feel old!

I kinda like this one, with the swirly swirls and all. I think it's the matte finish that makes it work for me.

[seahawk]

Hamilton should always use the Senna-helmet.

20 years since his last WDC.

Bruno's had a special helmet since Korea.

[vanfriends]

The Senna tributes are because of a campaign of Instituto Ayrton Senna.

Ah fair enough, though I thought Bruno always wore that helmet design in honour of his uncle.

[wewantourdarbyback]

Rubens's helmet is a tribute to the designer, who designed his and Senna's and many others.

[August]

That was a cool helmet design.

[Andrew Hope]

Liuzzi's helmet was awesome.

Lewis just showed off his design on the BBC qualifying show. What you can't see from the photos on that blog is that he got special green padding made up to go inside it like Senna used to have. It looks brilliant.

[nzfriends]

Did Liuzzi wear that glow in the dark helmet at singapore? I cant find a pic of it on track?

[redbroccoli]

Hamilton should always use the Senna-helmet.

Currently Senna helmet belongs to Bruno.

Ah fair enough, though I thought Bruno always wore that helmet design in honour of his uncle.

Bruno Senna wares the helmet designed after his uncle, but after Korea he had special design commemorating Ayrton's three WDCs added to top of his helmet.

I agree it's a bit sad.

[Madras]

Vettel's helmets are just big Red Bull ads. Nothing special about the design because it's always ruined by Red Bull.

[purplejohn]

i think its because its 20 years since senna won there? its a big anniversary and its for charity

[redbroccoli]

Is Rubens auctioning off his Senna-themed helmet too?
If that's the case he should donate to Senna foundation instead of his own.

Yeah they suck, he has no signature helmet.

[Brandz07]

Yeah they suck, he has no signature helmet.

Vettels helmet template never actually changes, he just has certain areas that are designed on too each race, the actual main shapes never change

[nzfriends]

Sena tribute Helmets are nice, but I will not be really impressed until a driver gets a tattoo like these real senna fans

[purplejohn]

i might get a 22 tattoo for lewis

[King Six]

I don't care what it's for, it's ********, people need to move on. Or at least stop glorifying it like it's the best thing ever, whoop te do, some more Senna helmets, wow how ****ing amazing.

F1 Helmets don't make any sense anyway, apart from Schumacher with his red helmet I have no idea what everyone uses, I don't really care either, though.

In this video is every helmet design Fernando Alsonso has worn during his F1 Career I like Vettel's collection better, but that is just my opinion

[Ferrari_F1_fan_2001]

I think it's a disgrace that massa has been allowed to do 100 gp's lol

Despite being a Grand Prix winner and almost winning the WDC in 2008 against arguably the most talented driver in F1?

Massa is past his peak but at his best he was a formidable opponent.

Alonso's designs have become progressively worse. His original was a strong, bold, distinctive design that you could recognize from five hundred paces. Now, it's like he stood in a windtunnel with Stevie Wonder throwing paint around.
