The 2013 design was for me the most beautifull design that Jenson had so far.

I'm glad that he's back
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...

I like the fact that it's been his default design since he entered formula 1. I mean sure there have been slight variations on it, but it's always remained pretty much the same basic helmet design. Even those seasons where he's changed the colour of it, you could still see the traces of the original.
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not a current helmet admittedly but it's taken me all this time to realise that Alain Prosts helmet design was a stylised "P". :shock:

For a 70's design, it was ahead of its time. Very good looking

Yeah, I like the P on the side.

Hope it fits well in the Manor.

The lid is yellow (a colour featured in his previous lids), black, white and red (Manor's colors). I think it will fit

Alonso ditched Schueberth and returned using Arai Helmets.
The colours seems to remain the same.
