In my opinion you should be able to look at an f1 car and see who the driver is without the guesswork, so..

How about if all their helmets were painted to be a true representation of their heads?

His one should be painted black. It would scare the kids away.

+1 It works for Rossi because he has a personality. N/A for most F1 drivers.

It wouldn't be as funny..

But I agree, there is plenty of space on the car for a number or even their name. Even the commentators struggle with it.

Team orders should be allowed but only once one of the drivers no longer has a mathematical chance of winning the title. Massa was robbed and so were thousands of brazilian fans by Ferrari this year. He's a broken man and it's bad for the sport and the spectacle.

You seriously can't tell which driver it is from the helmet design? Maybe I watch too much F1?

If it included a 3D nose it would be considered a moveable aerodynamic device, therefore not allowed.

By team orders, is that all of the teams? or just the ones that PH doesnt seem to support? . . . . .the only reason I ask, is that pretty much every major F1 figure who's been asked, had stated that every team uses orders to some degree, Coulthards colum in the telegraph, being a well written case in point . . . . . and the difference between the RB's getting past the TR's today being a great example.

It's a team sport, every team uses team orders and tactics.

I certainly can't spot which one is which at a glance, but i don't really watch much F1 these days.
