That's a very nice basic design from Sainz (disregarding the swooshes and shapes in the detail).
I guess we'll never know if Vettel would have had a pink helmet.

that helmet looks so good in this plain state, too bad it will get plastered with sponsor logos.

It looks really good overall, but the top needs to be tweaked. Especially the arrow cross needs to go because it's banned in some countries (ex. Hungary) as it was a far-right nazi symbol.

Yeah I saw that too when I looked at the cross, obviously nothing like it in design thought from him, but some could take offense to it so probably needs to be changed.

Good luck with that, commentators!

They look like people have turned up at a Red Bull Kart Hire track and grabbed generic racey looking Red Bull helmets off the shelf to use....

I think they should bring back the retro single design per driver. Makes it so much easier spotting who's who.
Agree, but also regulate the size and placement of sponsor decals to prevent these horrible RedBull/AlphaTauri (and others) helmet design takeovers...

I can't decide which is more horrifying, the helmets, or the AlphaTauri wardrobe they were forced to wear at the car launch...

Is it common for drivers from the same team to use different brands of helmet? Like Gasly's helmet is Bell and Tsunoda's is Arai.

In Red Bull / Alpha Tauri's case, it's OK to use different helmet brands, as long as they are all UGLY.

Giovinazzi's is probably the best of the bunch so far. I'm not sure Räikkönen even has a "design" any more.
Kimi's the same as last year, just switched the white part to black.
Posted 22 February 2021 - 12:36
The Giovinazzi one is decent but would be so much better if the green and red lines were solid colour with sharp edges rather than all these gradients, swooshes, "speedmarks" etc

Doubly disappointing since Alfa Romeo doesn't have a halo or other stupidity mandated on their drivers' helmets, and Kimi still managed to come up with a convoluted mess that says nothing. Now it's so mangled, you can't even make out the number 7 anymore. This could be a very clean iconic helmet, a bit like Niki Lauda's "L" design turned upside down, but...

I agree, but I also prefer his old design when the base colour was blue.

Wich ruined it. Maybe the worst kimi livery.

Hamilton's is nice, at least it has a cohesive identity.
I like Daniel's too because it's, as always, so random, and I always like Seb's...

Why even bother revealing Red Bull helmet "designs" ... useless mess every time. When the most likable helmt in the entire Red Bull organization is Helmt Marko, you know you've got a problem!

Looks like Lewis is leaving room for at least 2, maybe 3 more championship stars on there...

At least the bright green/yellow at the front will make it pretty recognizable from distance!

I’m no fan of Red Bull’s helmet policy although it should be said that is closer to Sergio’s “real” helmet design than the one he has been wearing in the BWT era...
Posted 23 February 2021 - 16:52
The only helmet design that wasn't completely ruined by the Red Bull stickers was DC's.

Can you clarify that RB even has a Helmut Policy and it's not solely the drivers decision.
With respect to Sergio.. sorry how exactly has he had a "design" continuity that isn't flowing into his 2021 design. Sorry.. but his always been a mess, lack of overall design and cohesiveness. I do not see anything in his RB 2021 lid that is grossly out of the norm for him.

They should write into the regulations that helmets cannot have sponsors on them, I’m serious. There’s just no individuality or personality with helmets any more (which has mattered even less with the introduction of the halo).
Up until the mid-late 2000s I could identify pretty much every driver by their helmet design. Now, at least 50-75% of them are either Redbull/AT sponsors or they have the generic ‘whooshy’ crap all over them. It’s actually a bit sad...this was the driver’s personality.
