I'd prefer a more fierce and competitive helmet design without these goofy tennie-bopper cartoons. They aren't 12, they are supposed to be warriors of the race track.
The idea that the designs offends someone or other though, well, that isn't an argue against them. It's an argument for them.
Kimi should wear this helmet anyway and stick it to the little man.
In any event, this is not an issue that will keep me up at night, I don't think.
