Drivers changing their helmets midseason
Discussion
Am I alone in wishing it was a bit easier to differentiate between a teams cars mid race? Each team have a driver with usually bright yellow accents at the top of the airbox, and of course the cars have race numbers and the drivers have different helmets.
But the numbers are always small and often in different places on the car from team to team. The drivers these days seem to change their helmets every race. Back in my old day down the tin mines drivers used to pick a helmet design that had personal significance and stick to it. Nowadays the bold, crisp, clear design seems to have swapped to airbrushed sponsor fests.
All these factors make it harder for me to tell who's who, and its not just me, the commentators clearly struggle whenever unexpected events occur.
I want bigger numbers in fixed locations and contrasting colours, and Danny Ric to stick with his lovely retro Monaco helmet that they just revealed.
