A plain white helmet just with the name "Helio" on it, makes it more a Spiderman helmet than the one Ocon has now.

Seeing the McLaren virtual branding experiment, we'll be seeing Xmas tree style helmets changing every lap next year...

I used to quite like the special helmets the drivers had for certain races but nowadays it seems like each driver has about 10 different helmets each year. I thought the no special helmets rule was stupid but now I'm wishing they'd change it back. Limit it to one or two special helmets a year max.

I think the rule should be:

 

Have as many helmet designs as you want - but you can only apply sponsor logos to one design per year.

Touching, but quite an ugly helmet. A reminder, in our current era of messy garbage, that simple is not always beautiful. But at least it’s easily identifiable.

It's iconic in the sense that it was the standard helmet for Red Bull drivers in junior categories and in F1 in the early Red Bull days, when Mateschitz was just an energy drink seller who was fool enough to throw loads of cash at F1 just to have his brand on cars and sell more drinks - or so people thought.

Class act from Vettel, and kudos to Aston for letting him wear it.

Lovely tribute from the man that is by far and a way the best driver the Red Bull programme produced.

These days the word ”iconic” in an F1 context simply means ”something we’ve seen before”

To be fair the classic Red Bull junior helmet is kinda iconic at this point. A bit like the Marlboro chevron on your forehead. Ironically it wasn't that common in F1 beyond Vettel, and he quickly went 'arty' about it.

Using Beri (on page 2)'s definition of what makes a good helmet design - being able to draw it from memory - you could say it's exactly that.

A proper mess, but he might as well bask in the glory, he deserved it.

Cynicism aside, overall,I don't mind the "special edition" helmets. The collection for Brazil this year is nice (something about the the colors of the Brazilian flag that mix well for me). Hamilton's edition this year reminds me of his "original" colors with some Felipe Baby mixed in....which all these years later is rather fitting.

Very nice from Fernando, and these older-school, more retro helmets are so much better looking than the ultra-busy designs.

I'm kind of sad Alonso's regular design has strayed so far from his 00s design.

His regular design this year has been the closest to his original he’s ever had, albeit in pink

Could be a nice bold design, but a mess thanks to the generic jaggy lines and “speedmarks” that are so ubiquitous but so unnecessary
