Another nice crash hat bites the dust.

I like it, the further it gets away from Senna's helmet the better it gets!

I don't mind it, in fact may even like it. The smeary look to the lines is quite good, and it's not as messy and over-glamorous as a few of Vettel's.

I confess I think it's awful. But I think the same way about the trend these days for changing helmet designs for every other race....

Too true. An awful helmet, used permanently, is better than great helmets changed every race.
Although Vettel manages the spectacular feat of having a different crap helmet every week. |

Should stand out well against the rather drab looking silver of the Merc.

I like the helmet, personally... nice melange of colors. But what I don't like, which is reflected in almost everyone's comments on here, is how F1 drivers seem to change their helmets every race. How many helmets has Vettel had? Over 20?

Wow Helmet designs are amazing, but I think we should also talk about girlfriends and Vettel's car names as well. As long as it isn't about the on-track competition.

Loving the massive Red Bull logo splashed all over that Cevert tribute.
Otherwise, very nice. Monaco always throws up the funky helmets, more bad than good unfortunately. My favourite was when Rubens Barrichello and Tony Kanaan swapped helmets for the Indy 500 and Monaco GP a few years ago. |

It is ridiculous, golden boy Vettel is allowed soft-core porn on his helmet, but Kimi is ordered to remove a tribute to a great champion. Maybe Limit should come out in qualifying with a big f you on top of his helmet. |

I know this is a bit overkill, but this probably upsets the women in motorsports. The helmet's screaming "women should be admired for their body only". It's just not classy - but I agree, Vettel can get away with murder in the F1 world. EDIT: I wouldn't be angry about this but that is just a blatant insult to Kimi and James Hunt. The fact that he can't wear a tribute helmet while Vettel can wear this is just outrageous. |

I think Will Buxton summed this up on twitter - why aren't they removing Lauda from the paddock? He's a walking advert for the film.
