It's funny how both McLaren drivers have the number one on their helmets.

This is the only photo I could find of Fernando Alonso' SF1 helmet, looks pretty much the same to the 2012 helmet with the exception of the ringed Hublot, Kaspersky decals around the top part of the helmet/Visor.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Hell no. It's bloody awful. I never really liked his helmet designs, but this one is by far the worst.

I would buy either of those in a second if they were produced.

Kimi and Gutierrez look cool, but Grosjean is the winner for me.

I think the Hamilton one is better than his Mclaren helmets, unfortunately that's not a huge compliment.

Not a bell fan (I own an Arai GP5) But that is a nice lid!

I have to admit that I don't race cars, but if Shoei produced that design in a motorcycle helmet I'd be all over it like a rash.

Being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, competing to win...

It's hideously gypsy.

Mercedes never did have any style. Even the design of most Mercedes cars are obnoxious and crude. Same goes for their taste in graphic design I guess.
F1 car width now 2.0m (same as 1993-1997). Lets go crazy and bring the 2.2m cars back (<1992).

I like Perez's the most so far. I like the Aztec (is it Aztec?) design on it with the neon yellow.

I think so, although some of it does remind me of the Peruvian Nazca Lines

such an ugly helmet for Lewis.... a champion like him must have own style (he's not a "dumb" kid like Vettel to change his helmets at every race).
I my opinion top 3 Helmets 1.Kimmi 2.Alonso 3.Button (but i think Michael had the coolest of all)
