At this point I just watch all of these Tommo helmet or livery design rating videos in order to see just how far apart our tastes are, because usually the ones he thinks are mid or even clanger are awesome looking to me and the ones he thinks are top tier are usually around mid tier in my eyes, though we do agree that Bottas special helmet is top tier (though so is his normal one to me).
Same here... what I like and what he likes are SO different. It actually takes me a good while to get through these because I just have to keep stopping and going "That's it, I can't take any more of these painful takes." (e.g: Lando's regular helmet = clanger *at best*. That thing looks like the child of a hi-vis vest and 1980's leopard print.) But taste is subjective, so exposing yourself to totally different tastes is an important thing in life.
Same. For example, Tommo ranks the Red Bull lids as clean and bangers and I absolutely despise them. To me they're overly complex without any sense of design direction. Also, Tommo hates Hulk's helmet but I actually like it. White and any shade of green pleases my eye. But that's just how tastes are. I tend to rank the two-tone helmets higher as I prefer simple designs. Having three colors makes it so the design has to be super simple, which Ocon's helmet nails.
Lando has best helmet imo. Its extremely unique and it makes the neon work so well. And the pattern is amazing, it works with inverted colors and with Sennas colors too
It is one of my least favourite ones (Tastes differ of course). The pattern just feels too much, and I just don't like neon most of the time. Although with that being said the inverted one looks just great.
I think Lando's standard helmet is actually a lot better (personally) But what I think is even more important: Lando's Helmet is by far the most unique one and so easily identified. I am pretty new to F1 and I can pretty much only recognize Lando's Helmet straight away
For me, if I was shown those helmets and I had to match them, George and Lando's just stick out to me as easily recognisable for some reason. Obviously I could get others using some clues (flags) but those 2 just are weirdly iconic already
Russell qatar and Hamilton standard one are at least a banger if not 🏆, it’s one of the most gorgeous pieces I’ve ever seen tommo, no way you have it a mid brev 😭
It is easily one of my least favourite of every year he has used it. It just clashes so much with the purple in my opinion. Like even a regular yellow would have been better. Or maybe I dislike it so much because he went from having my favourite helmet to that travesty with one colour change.
Colapinto's Reutemann helmet was the best helmet design in the past couple years. We need more simple helmets that drivers could stick with, not these emotionless cartoons that will be forgotten after a month. Vettel proved it works in the zeitgeist, now everybody needs to follow.
I also think some more unique (and simple) designs should be used. There is this trend of very similar little sharp edges and lines everywhere that I just don't like. At least make it a bit of a personal shape like Lewis or Charles. Or something totally different that will one day become synonymous with your name.
As an Aussie I LOVE seeing the iconic Doohan helmet colours back on the grid!! You have no idea just how many bike riders in the 90’s rocked this helmet theme on their road bikes….
Call me an old geezer, but I miss the days when drivers would carry the same basic design throughout their career - it made them much easier to spot at a glance.
Basically the same? Totally different shape on the side, a lot more blue for Piastri and yellow/neon for Alonso, that clashing orange being prominent while Alonso has a little bit of red. How are they the same?
Love how different our opinions can be. I had many different takes. Just hope they keep innovating and trying different designs etc to keep things fresh and interesting
How about Fernando’s special commemorative helmet with the film reels of his career? It was super cool, even if the race didn’t turn out well (if I remember correctly).
Putting George and Charles anywhere but top 3 is a little wild. I go off if I can instantly know who I’m looking at while watching the race and I always knew where they were. Iconic
Respectfully, you're just wrong about Zhou's helmet. You probably haven't even looked at it that closely from all around, but it's stunning. It has the shanghai skyline at the back. It's top 3 of the standard helmets WITHOUT A DOUBT!
I cannot express my utter disappointment in Hülkenberg's standard design choice. He has had so many quality helmet designs before (black and yellow Renault, the pink one for the Silverstone Supersub and the green and pink Aston Martin one). Just why? It's not like he lost his touch or something. Just look at his special helmets. His Monaco one is clean, has loads details from around the area and perfectly synthesizes the vintage and classy feel of the historic grand prix. The one in Miami is quite literally on point in showing off that throwback Miami Vice theme. And the Germany Euro 2024 design is more or less a one on one copy of the german national team kit with the gold, red and black gradient and the blocky font for the 27. It's magnificent. He made a recent post on his Instagram showcasing all helmets of the season and the standard design is definitely the biggest outlier in terms of looks. Disgusting…
Tommo this is my top 5 helmets No particular order but here is my top 5 Gasly standard Gasly psg special don’t know why you didn’t include it Magnussen standard Ocon alpine tribute Sainz monza
As an Alex Albon fan I love his regular helmet, but his Panda helmet was creepy AF. Oscar’s basic helmet looks like one he just grabbed off the shelf from like the 80s-90s. Checo’s 2024 helmets are about as good as his driving in 2024.
Tommo: Ranking the first helmet.
Me already: Nah that's the wrong ranking
Facts
mate lando’s special edition at the bottom of mid is criminal
Lock me up
@@TommoMcCluskey i just got to the end and it’s in clanger, i don’t know how many opinions i can trust lmao
That helmet is a true work of art!
Why even choose that helmet as his special one when his Singapore one was clearly the better helmet @@whattheculturefeelin
@Ibukun_1 It can't be clearly if a majority vote didn't result in it being selected lol.
Ah yes, the offseason, where Tommo morphs back into a graphic designer.
ahoi hoi
Ah yes, off season Tommo. These winter break vids are a vibe
WE ARE BACK
What if blank joined the grid when??? 😏😂
Need a part 2
Sorry tommo but you have 0 taste 😂❤
😘
Cold take. But to each their own. 😉
Agreed
They say you should let people have opinions, but when their opinions are this bad. Ehhhhhhhhh
@@jeditrooperteamjtt1484 exactly. Everyone else’s opinions are wrong 😂
Carlos' Monza helmet is my absolute favorite, it's gorgeous
All Ferrari Monza designs have been banger these last 3 years
A banger, no doubt
At this point I just watch all of these Tommo helmet or livery design rating videos in order to see just how far apart our tastes are, because usually the ones he thinks are mid or even clanger are awesome looking to me and the ones he thinks are top tier are usually around mid tier in my eyes, though we do agree that Bottas special helmet is top tier (though so is his normal one to me).
This reaffirms to me that I'm not running a cult. Which is good. 😅

Yuki's helmet is by far the best out of the red bull athletes imo. Love the navy plus the red and orange
Yuki's helmet is by far the best overall , imo
Remove "helmet is" and you're still right
Oscar's yellow helmet is so sick. George's blue one and Sargeant's also killer. Max's is up there too.
Carlos' monza has to be top 3, that horse is beautiful. I also prefer George's special helmet than his standard one.
Zhou base helmet is insane imo
insanely good i hope you mean
Yeah, I love that intricate design on top and the holographic colors pop against that black base background.
yea, insanely horrid
Lando has best helmet imo. Its extremely unique and it makes the neon work so well. And the pattern is amazing, it works with inverted colors and with Sennas colors too
It is one of my least favourite ones (Tastes differ of course). The pattern just feels too much, and I just don't like neon most of the time.

landos special lids for japan + singapore need shoutouts! 🔥🔥
OMG Landos Japan helmet was fire
Not putting landos singapore helmet on the list is criminal
I think Lando's standard helmet is actually a lot better (personally)
But what I think is even more important: Lando's Helmet is by far the most unique one and so easily identified.
I am pretty new to F1 and I can pretty much only recognize Lando's Helmet straight away
The designs in the helmet spell his name its by one of the most unique and well designed helmets
Same. The standard geometric shapes helmet design most drivers go for is boring! That's why i also loved a bunch of danny rics helmets
For me, if I was shown those helmets and I had to match them, George and Lando's just stick out to me as easily recognisable for some reason.
Obviously I could get others using some clues (flags) but those 2 just are weirdly iconic already
Neon is so overused
@@lor7780 no it isnt
Zhous helmet is top 3 imo
Videos like this aleays remid me that I fundamentally disagree with Tommo's aesthetic taste
Russell qatar and Hamilton standard one are at least a banger if not 🏆, it’s one of the most gorgeous pieces I’ve ever seen tommo, no way you have it a mid brev 😭
nahhhhhhh Zhous standard helmet is absolutely gorgeous. Best helmet of the year for me.
Tommo your Albon and warm pink bias is showing.
Yuki’s helmet was made for the Red Bull livery and suit 😭
Lando's pink lightening edition in Japan was one of my favourites all season. Shocked you didn't go with that.
man, the purple and neon yellow hamilton helmet absolutely slaps. Almost as good as mick's teal and pastel magenta colours
It is easily one of my least favourite of every year he has used it. It just clashes so much with the purple in my opinion. Like even a regular yellow would have been better.
Or maybe I dislike it so much because he went from having my favourite helmet to that travesty with one colour change.
Leclerc’s helmets this year we’re all absolute bangers! Miami, Monaco, Monza, even the Sainz homage at Abu Dhabi.
Bro what that Mid section is by far the best on the whole thing
Logan’s helmet is perfect 🇺🇸
Tis magnifique
THANKS MAN!
Colapinto's Reutemann helmet was the best helmet design in the past couple years. We need more simple helmets that drivers could stick with, not these emotionless cartoons that will be forgotten after a month. Vettel proved it works in the zeitgeist, now everybody needs to follow.
Bring back simple helmets.
I also think some more unique (and simple) designs should be used. There is this trend of very similar little sharp edges and lines everywhere that I just don't like. At least make it a bit of a personal shape like Lewis or Charles.
Or something totally different that will one day become synonymous with your name.
As an Aussie I LOVE seeing the iconic Doohan helmet colours back on the grid!!
You have no idea just how many bike riders in the 90’s rocked this helmet theme on their road bikes….
seeing Lawson's helmet at the end with the Redbull large across the back, again reminds me that they own 20% of the real estate available on the grid.
I frikin love those off-season videos. These make my day less boring.
Appreciate that, thank you! 🫡
Piastri Australian gp special edition is a banger 2:15
Call me an old geezer, but I miss the days when drivers would carry the same basic design throughout their career - it made them much easier to spot at a glance.
They all look like motorcyclists now!
i think landos singapore helmet is the best of this season
Ricciardo miami helmet this year is just goated
You forgot Colapinto's helmet for the Qatar GP, which was the best of the season imo.
Not doing Charles's Monaco helmet as his special was criminal to me that helmet was my favorite alone
Thank you Tommo! Been waiting for some winter break content!
What we've found from this video is that Tommo hates neon on helmets
The AUS gp oscar helmet was class too
Big up all your effort and videos this year Tommo, made this season even better!
Happy Little Christmas Eve as we say here 🎉
Landos helmets being anywhere but top tier is a crime
Also his Japan helmet is so underrated
Bro just hates white as a base color 💀
Mate, Alonso’s and Piastri’s base helmets are basically the same but they are 2 tiers apart somehow? Justice for my Aussie boy!
Basically the same? Totally different shape on the side, a lot more blue for Piastri and yellow/neon for Alonso, that clashing orange being prominent while Alonso has a little bit of red.
How are they the same?
@ to me thet give the same energy. Clashing colours and the colors are similarish
Unlucky. Georges Shanghai helmet was forgotten about. Such a beautiful helmet too.
Tsunoda’s helmet is by far one of the best
Love how different our opinions can be. I had many different takes. Just hope they keep innovating and trying different designs etc to keep things fresh and interesting
Picking the DR3 maple one and not the Australia one is criminal from you tommo
Happy holidays Tommo!
I still claim Yuki’s Canada 2023 helmet is the most beautiful and aesthetic helmet ever
When KMag came out with the matte finish helmet with the oakberry parrot I thought for certain you’d love it
I mean, I won't complain, but Piastri's helemt is supposed to be a take on 'nando's one, just sayin.
Dont become a critic, Daniels Montreal helmet is piece of art
Verstappen's champ helmet to me is such a banger, the simplicity yet at the same time some flare is soooo cool to me
Love you Lommo 🙏🏾
Kinda funny how its kinda close to a favorite driver tierlist for tommo
esteban didnt do AD
Glad I'm not the only one who loves Logan's helmet, it's just so clean and beautiful.
How about Fernando’s special commemorative helmet with the film reels of his career? It was super cool, even if the race didn’t turn out well (if I remember correctly).
Putting George and Charles anywhere but top 3 is a little wild. I go off if I can instantly know who I’m looking at while watching the race and I always knew where they were. Iconic
Hulks Monaco white one was stunning, absolutely top tier, it looked actually embossed
Alex golf ball helmet was *cheff kiss*
Soo many drivers had special editions almost every other race, it’s hard to tell which one was a “standard”.
The saddest part of Sargeant being such a flop is that we won't ever see that gorgeous helmet design again
He might continue with the design with ELMS.
Love this. Kind of wish you had done 2 separate videos with just base designs in one and specials in the other. It's a long off-season Tommo 😅
No way Zhou's helmet is a clanger, Banger at least
Man I love these videos
George’s china helmet was one of the best of the season!
This makes a lot more sense to me if I turn the sound off and imagine that the tiers are inverted!
Gonna be some civil conversations in the comments
That Russell white helmet was the best helmet all season imo
I personally would have swapped lando’s Hungary helmet and Oscar’s senna helmet but that’s just me 🤷🏽♀️ banger video tho!!
No. How can Zhou's helmet be in clanger, one of the best across the season
Respectfully, you're just wrong about Zhou's helmet. You probably haven't even looked at it that closely from all around, but it's stunning. It has the shanghai skyline at the back. It's top 3 of the standard helmets WITHOUT A DOUBT!
One hundred percent correct on Logans Helmet.
Merry Christmas❤️
tommo, please do a alltime helmets ranking
You missed Colapinto's Qatar Helmet, absolute beauty, even if you don't like Football, the design itself is amazing
"Not overwhelmed with sponsors" is the worst possible description of a Red Bull helmet respectfully
I cannot express my utter disappointment in Hülkenberg's standard design choice.
He has had so many quality helmet designs before (black and yellow Renault, the pink one for the Silverstone Supersub and the green and pink Aston Martin one).
Just why? It's not like he lost his touch or something. Just look at his special helmets.
His Monaco one is clean, has loads details from around the area and perfectly synthesizes the vintage and classy feel of the historic grand prix.
The one in Miami is quite literally on point in showing off that throwback Miami Vice theme.
And the Germany Euro 2024 design is more or less a one on one copy of the german national team kit with the gold, red and black gradient and the blocky font for the 27. It's magnificent.
He made a recent post on his Instagram showcasing all helmets of the season and the standard design is definitely the biggest outlier in terms of looks.
Disgusting…
Good little episode here, but were you aware that you can actually move them around a bit as you go along?
Lando’s singapore helmet might be the best helmet I’ve ever seen ngl
Albons Panda helmet is a certified Banger
These ranking videos are just for some reason peak
I really like Max Verstappen's special orange helmet for some European races.
Basically if it has pink tommo will like it and if it has neon tommo will hate it 😂
Can't wait for liveries and driver suits rating for 2025
OP81 Australian addition helmet was missed and it was imo a top tier helmet. The design was flawless.
I'm a big Fan of Charles and lewis helmet Designs, so i'm satisfyed with the ferrari line-up next year :D
Tommo this is my top 5 helmets
No particular order but here is my top 5
Gasly standard
Gasly psg special don’t know why you didn’t include it
Magnussen standard
Ocon alpine tribute
Sainz monza
Oscar's regular helmet is top tier.
I quite liked Fernando's Boss helmet for Silverstone. It was very designer.
Carlos' Monza tribute helmet is the prettiest helmet I have ever seen on planet Earth, it should have a category of its own like 2 tiers higher 😅
I have to say, Alonso's Japanese GP helmet is one of my favorites.
I would have to say I liked Charles’ helmet the best this year
insane rankings Tommo, lol
At this point I’m just watching to argue with a screen😂
bro IM wearing that SAME tobagan...RIGHT NOW 😮😮😮
IM FAMOUS!!!!
(The one at the beginning)
BRO YOU ARE FAMOUS LOGAN!
Bro me too....😅
Wait that beautiful special edition Ocon helmet was for Abu Dhabi? So he didnt even got to drive with this thing? 😭
Would be cool if you'd design your own helmet here like you do for liveries
As an Alex Albon fan I love his regular helmet, but his Panda helmet was creepy AF.
Oscar’s basic helmet looks like one he just grabbed off the shelf from like the 80s-90s.
Checo’s 2024 helmets are about as good as his driving in 2024.
