Mod edit - I honestly thought we had one of these threads every year, but the last one was in 2010 :arrow: http://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewto ... f=3&t=8318

It's an Arai (the same model Vettel is using) and it is discussed in the team thread.

Brilliant idea to start a thread on the new helmets. All of those helmets look awesome to me. They have come a long way since
the plain Rene Arnoux helmet. What about the Ferrari drivers lid?

Good idea. I've also linked to the previous thread, back in 2010, how time flies!

It would be nice to see this sorted by manufacturer - preferably with thumbnail images

Grosjean's helmet looks pretty good.

Is it just me who thinks Hamilton's new lid is absolutely awful? Especially with the green visor?
