Favourite Helmet of all time?
The helmet thread really got me thinking of the various helmet designs over the years...so the rule is simple...what is your favouite helmet design? You only have one choice.

Mine: Nelson Piquet..who wasn't my favourite driver, but loved the helmet

I like Siffert's and Hakkinen's. Hill's is good too and was an early example of a design on a motor racing helmet.

I'm also a fan of the Hill lid. Simple but striking!

Phi-Phi Etancelin - backwards pointing cloth cap, you can't beat it. I believe it was the basis for all the "Street" look today with the hip=hop kids.

Rupert Keegan's. Would only have been better had it been blue and white. Simple and striking design, unique to him.

It was certainly an inspiration but wasn't the intention to be a rip-off. My design is currently done with vinyl-tape so was quite constrained with what i could do. It just sort of 'happened' like that.

I will be getting a new hat and a paint-job at some point. It will still 'tip the nod' to Alesi/Di Angelis but will be a bit more personal.

Bellof.

Helmets are crap these days (with a few exceptions.)

Good idea for a thread I'm going to nominate what Alex Wurz used in his early career.



The fine details or colours are not the big deal but, when looking from a distance, I recall the races he replaced Berger, specifically Silverstone, on Hangar straight. The vertical lines were not normal, I cant recall seeing anyone take up a vertical design. Normally, they're horizontal lines and/or follow the helmet. It was distinct, obvious from a distance and I really liked it.

Barrichello's helmet desing with all its variations is my favourite.

Tom Pryce had vertical stripes above the visor, to make it easier for his dad to pick him out. Dean Hall in Indycar also had vertical stripes.

I liked Herbert's, Zanardi's, Lehto's and Donnelly's but was that because they were heroes of mine when I was a lad, or because I liked the designs.

Difficult to know for sure?
