These were on display at Autosport international:-







Can you name the drivers?

(I *think* I got about 13 of them...)

I recognise some that I've passed on, just cannot put a name to them.

Karthikeyan is beside Trulli in the first cabinet.

The one beside Andretti looks like a modern Emerson Fittipaldi lid.

EDIT - The one beside Hamilton is an Old Gary Paffett.

I was half expecting at least one of the cabinets to be Vettel race 1, Vettel race 2, Vettel race 3, etc hehe

Curses, when you said name the Helmet Owners I was going to say the Stand owner but then noticed " Name the Drivers"" line
Good thread, though have to say in a few years time this task will be more difficult by certain Drivers changing Helmet Designs almost every race!! :-)

My additions in bold.

First cabinet, from the top:

Maldonado/Perez
J.Villenerve/Grosjean
A.Senna/B.Senna
Trulli/Karthekeyan
Mario Andretti/E. Fittipaldi
I thought Lauda but the parmalat sponsor was much bigger than this on his helmet when at Brabham - went all the way around./Stewart

2nd cabinet:

Vetel/Petrov
Button/Button
Hamilton/
Massa/
Davidson/Trulli
Peterson/Kubica

3rd cabinet - seems to be a bit victim to the constantly changing helmet designs craze! I was kinda hoping the bottom 2 looked a bit retro and therefore identifiable.

Ah yes, you may be right. There are some differences. Well I'm sure the person who heard me say that at the show didn't know either so I shouldn't have embarrassed myself too much!

The third section is mostly Martin Hines (RIP) and Luke Hines...possibly some of the 'young guns' helmets too, i.e. paffett etc

2nd cabinet, next to Hamiltons, I think might be Rubens Barrichello's helmet.

3rd cabinet looks distinctly American to me.

It's definitely Paffett and with Mobil 1, AMG and Bridgestone on it I would date it to when he started testing from McLaren.

This is the best picture I can find of the helmet but it's from before he was testing.

I think the Omron Helmet next to Andrettis belongs to Jan Lammers ...

Also Paffets Helmet is more likely when he started racing in the DTM with AMG ..
