Driver Helmets 2015

[acosmichippo]

True about TV tech, but that would be much more expensive than just specifying a few decals on the cars. Also, TV tech doesn't help people watching in-person.

There is a very easy solution for the "one design a year" rule, all the drivers should turn up with white lids at the first GP.

It would be more expensive than decals, but what is expensive in a sport that makes over a billion a year? It would be a logical evolution imo.

I'd might go a little further and say F1 should be looking in a lot more ways to enhance the broadcast. 3D broadcasting, VR broadcasting, secondary screens for portable devices, etc...

Compared to a lot of other sports, F1 is still in the stone age in terms of TV-broadcasting.

Drivers change their helmet design - wah, wah, why don't they stay with similar colours like Hill, or Senna

Keep the same - wah, wah, it's boring because it hasn't changed.

Personally I like that helmet, much neater than some messy designs or Hamilton's tacky lid. =D>

Hamilton makes minor changes to 2015 design, addition of BOSE as a sponsor too.

Good luck spotting which Toro Rosso boy is at the wheel. Well done FIA, Well done!

I kinda wish Vettel kept the "ribbon" and his logo on his helmet from the old helmets. This one looks a bit too bare for him.

This is what I mean - the blue bit with "Pepe Jeans" and his red logo.

Simple Max have Red top on his helmet and a V(erstappen) on side

Little update about the final helmet 2015 Max Verstappen








The red and (more) blue colors are darker so we can all see he is a Dutch guy =D>

God these helmets are terrible...Year after year they keep getting worse. Bottas and Rosberg are the only ones with a clear design and even them aren't really good looking.
