The logo is also on his new helmet on the sides. The ribbon has been replaced by a 'Kaspersky-ribbon', because Pepe Jeans is a RBR-sponsor.raymondu999 wrote:I kinda wish Vettel kept the "ribbon" and his logo on his helmet from the old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.

Ηakkinen's was (and still is) one of my favorites, great design that you could recognize anytime. MSC's too, i loved it since it became mostly red after Belgium 2000 (I think). Too bad that now drivers care about "bling" and use these ridiculous amounts of lines, fancy colors etc. In the case of RB drivers it gets even worse, I can't simply recognise the helmets, they all look the same since Vettel's days as a champ.Vettel Maggot wrote:I agree, most of them look like they have been painted by the same person who has a limited imagination and thinks that the more complex the design the better.diego1960 wrote:God these helmets are terrible...Year after year they keep getting worse.

Anyone saw yesterday's Post-race analysis with DC and co. on the BBC and noticed similar on screen driver identifications? Perhaps they are reading what we are suggesting.poolboy67 wrote:Dear FIA. I hereby present to you the solution for easier driver identification:
surely this cannot be too high-tech for a series that's trying to be the absolute peak in automotive technology?
i kid you not, FIA has become almost like a stupid goverment that just bans everything as a solution, instead of finding what's the actual cause of things and making an intelligent change to it.
kinda like Finland's goverment is "solving" alcoholism by banning positive commentry of alcoholic beverages in the social media. it's just madness.
Not hard at all if the cars are standing still, but at speed when they change cameras or with warm air rippling or with rain or... well anything other than when the cars are standing still it is MUCH easier to tell the difference in T-Bars with one being red and the other yellow.Harvey wrote:You do realise that the T-cams are now coloured black or yellow now? How is this any harder to spot than red or yellow?Manoah2u wrote:
Yellow accents vs Red accents to clearly differentiate. Would work for ANY car. Even a full yellow or full red car would be identifiable because one of them has a clear yellow pod or a clear red pod.
what happened to this feature? why is it no longer around?
+2. Reminds me of Nigel Mansell and Jenson Button's helmet.Vettel Maggot wrote:http://www.f1helmetstore.com/by_year/an ... 0right.jpg
One of the best modern day designs in my opinon.
Given the Red Bull talk of late, we may not have that problem next year.acosmichippo wrote:I agree, I wish red bull drivers would make their helmets predominantly one color - Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, etc. to make it easier to distinguish between them. Say what you will about Vettel's constantly changing helmet, at least it usually looked much different from Webber's.
