The helmet is perhaps the most personal object of a Formula 1 driver, since thanks to it we can easily recognize who it is. Throughout history we have seen thousands of designs, some better than others, but all with character and personality, which has led fans to quickly associate some colors with a particular name.
In the 2022 Grand Circus season we will have 20 riders willing to leave that mark in the memory of motorsports die-hards, and here is each and every possible candidate to be remembered as a legendary helmet.

Formula 1 was characterized because its drivers always used identical or very similar designs throughout its history, however, that changed in the modern era with names like Sebastian Vettel. During his stay at Red Bull, he used to present a different decoration in each Grand Prix, and that is something that created a trend in others such as Daniel Ricciardo, who also tends to radically modify his helmet in each course.
But due to this fashion that German established in the Great Circus in the 2010s, Formula 1 prohibited modifications in this safety element to encourage fans to recognize the driver simply by seeing the colors of the helmet.
This was the case from 2015 to 2020 , when the FIA backed off the measure due to the reception of the drivers’ followers, who repeatedly disagreed through all possible channels, such as on social networks.
Not changing the helmet could mean creating myths like Ayrton Senna , James Hunt , Niki Lauda , Nigel Mansell or Michael Schumacher, but it bound the creativity of an era marked by the visual on the screens of electronic devices.
