I doubt Lewis or the other top tier drivers pay for their own helmets infact I wouldn't be surprised if they're paid to wear them.markp wrote:Hamilton moved to Bell as I would. It's 500 pounds cheaper, makes a difference, he can now afford a few luxuries in the weekly shopping.

Bahrain helmet has longer lines that go from two stars to the visor, red shape under the visor at the front is thicker, yellow shape under the visor at the front is thinner.
