Best helmet design ever....

[CANGOQUICK]

Ok chaps, here's one for you. Whos had the best lid over the years? Personally, I like a simple design, not overly detailed...

So no diamond encrusted McMerc Monaco cap for you?

[freedman]

Jacky Ickx, Ronnie Peterson, Ayrton Senna

[John D.]

Senna for me. Don't know why, probably because he was in his prime when I first started watching F1 as a kid and it always was a distinctive design.

Rossi. By miles. Any of the many will do, but this is one of my personal faves:

the sight of this in a marlboro mclaren would terrify anyone
looks great (from this side)
a humble tribute to Elio
JYS

I liked Jochen Rindt's. A design classic





On colour designs, Gilles Villenuve (Perry McCarthy used it as well), Patrick Tambay, Yukio Kagayama (blue) and Eddie Cheever/Anthony Davidson's similar star/stripes.

[SIDEWAYS4EVER]

Your dead right about Kagayama, really simple and really stands out. Although I think he uses a darker blue now.

[FourWheelDrift]

No it's gone from blue to red for this year. Still looks good.

[Blue Meanie]

Always like Nige's hat

Rossi is the winner.


But in a F1 car there's just something about the yellow helmet.

Agreed, Rossi is always worth a look. I think Button's is one of the coolest on todays grid.

I was going to say that one

[tertius]

As a rower I always liked the Graham/Damon Hill design.

Nice and simple as well.

Agree totally. Loads of his helmets are great. Who had the chupa-chups one too?

[lewis1]

that would be lorenzo.

[FourWheelDrift]

And originally Emilio Alzamora.

In terms of pure graphics, Piquet Sr's was probably the best.
