What's the forum's take on Vettel's helmet rotation policy? I personally don't like it as I'd prefer him to stick to a design that will become associated to his identity, but it's probably personal preference. What do others think?
maybe changing constantly is his identity. I really dont care one way or another.

The bigger issue is why he has an air cushion under his HANS device. That's the RB9 secret right there..

Hahaha, I honestly wouldn't rule that out of Vettel's thought process.

i think it´s a bit too much with the helmet switching and sometimes it looks like there´s a disco on his head.
It was a cool idea, must be a Jorge Lorenzo fan :wink:
