Has he ever had his own helmet design? it seems to be completely sponsored by Red Bull, and I can't remember him ever having his own design, I've gone to Wikipedia and he had a Red Bull helmet in F3 and even when he stood in for Kubica at BMW in 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Vettel

hehe I wonder if Ralf ever saw it?

Vettel has been on the Red Bull junior driving programme for years. For his entire single seater career he has pretty much been backed by them.

Never thought I'd give in to this particular PH cliche, but you owe me a coffee and a keyboard!

Is it not enough that he drives a Red Bull billboard around the track. I can understand them wanting some sponsorship placement on his helmet, but i like the fact the drivers can show a bit of themselves in thier helmet designs, rather than just sticking thier head in a red bull can. There have been some great and memorable helmets over the years. (Graham/Damon's simple design, Barry Sheene's, Valentino Rossi) I just hope this isn't a sign of things to come, with sponsors being able to dictate what an individuals entire helmet looks like.

Yep Red Bull have enough placement on 4 cars on the grid without taking over a drivers helmet, so how far back does Vettels involvement with Red Bull go, has he ever had his own design? I did laugh at the pit wall crew in the Japanese GP.. oh there's a camera on me, I think I'll open this refreshing energy drink in a blue and silver can that gives you wings, ah thats better...

hahaha I did see that too - and the way he rotated the can so the label was even clearer.

Sorry, the factory has limited it to 225mph.
