This video is near unwatchable with this sheer amount of excessive effects overpowering the image. Anyway, my favourite F1 helmet is that of Gianni Morbidelli's. Colours that pop, and a simple but striking design.
What is so nice about a full red helmet like thousands of others exactaly like the same? Or his benneton helmet that is like other 100 helmets from drivers in the 90s?
No questioning on who's number 1... I would also say many of Vettel's helmets during his Red Bull days were eye catchin . Also Kimi's helmet designs are awesome especially the McLaren and his current Ferrari helmets.
And nowadays we have characterless helmets changing every year with bunch of colors ... Really miss the times when you immediately recognized the driver from the distance.
My all time favs: Ayrton's, Gilles' and Elio's helmets These are top ones with their simple and cracking design. Sennas especially in McLaren years was just unbeatable.Iconic ones: Elio/Jean, Nigel, Alain, Niki, Keke, Stefan, David, Mika (H) Graham/Damon, Ricardo, Michael earlies, Fernando (espec this years Indy) Clay. Liked Tarquini's as well.List yours...Thanks.
The numer#1! Só podia ser do Ayrton Senna!! Há entrevistas com pilotos da época, que diziam que quando viam aquele capacete amarelo pelo retrovisor se aproximando, já dava pavor! Que saudades...Até hoje, nós brasileiros, estamos órfãos na F1...
Definitely agree with number one. Even during his career, Senna's yellow helmet stood out and was iconic. It's taken on new significance since his passing. As others have said, back then drivers kept a design through their entire career, or at least with minor tweaks.
I WAS SURPRISED. I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD ALL LAME PICS BUT YOU WENT BACK IN TIME FOR A FEW. HAMILTON TAKING TWO WAS OVER THE TOP BUT GOOD JOB. I THOUGHT PIQUET OR MANSELL WOULD HAVE MADE IT BUT I GUESS I'M SHOWING MY AGE.
A Top10 where you know the winner after seeing number 10 and 9 is kinda bad...sure Senna's helmet design is very recognizable and it sure belongs to this list, but there are other designs that are better and definitely deserved to be on this list, like Raikonnen's Monaco Helmet, the golden Schumacher helmet and if you go for patriotism you should announce Jenson Button's helmet for sure which contains his intitials and the union jack (an argument you brought for James Hunt and David Coulthard).
Are you kidding me??? Talking about iconic, how about François Cevert, Gilles Villeneuve, Stephan Bellof, Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansel just to mention 5 that came to my mind... Please, try it again!!
patrick depailler? nigel mansell? jody scheckter? these were the best ever.... once were all identified, now they are all ridiculous, no one has its own personality, from a distance they all look alike
I have to say Vettel's Night Helmet that is amazing and should be nro.1 and it is not just because Vettel but Seriusly Stewart Helmet.... and Senna's helmet just look so Simple. Don't hate you can wear a helmet full of Stick man's and it's not mean you can't win.
Funny, the older and more simple Helmets are the most iconic ones.....But its pretty clear. Todays helmets are so overloaded with collor and bling-bling that you dont recognise them anymore.
La verdad es que como extraño las temporadas donde los pilotos usaban los diseños de cascos que usaron toda su vida , como el de Ayrton Senna , Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, Alain Prost y un largo etc ,etc, hoy en dia los diseños cambian como si cambiaran de ropa interior o peor, digo los colores y diseño del casco eran algo que te daba arraigo con el piloto ,como el escudo o lo colores de un equipo de futbol , en fin es mi punto de vista personal y que cada quien piense lo que quiera.
I can't deny that Ayrton Senna's helmet deserved to be # one, but why no mention of the earlier truly simple yet recognizable helmets like Jim Clark's solid black helmet with white visor? As Clark was my boyhood hero, I wore a solid black helmet with white visor when I rode my Honda 90.
How do you include James Hunt's boring helmet design and weird helmets from Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Heikki Kovalinnen with no mention of the truly iconic helmets of Nelson Piquet, Gilles Villeneuve, Patrick Depailler, Nigel Mansell, Franco's Cevert, Eddie Cheever or Alexander Wurz??!
How about a video that reflects a drivers personality before the corps told them what they're allowed to think, like Jody Scheckter, Hans Stuck, Mario, Nelson, the connection between the driver and the helmet scheme used to be obvious, guess I'm just another old timer complaining about the old days... and by the way, Hans helmet would make me nervous if I see him in the mirror at Sebring.
I liked Senna's helmet but sorry this video is biased towards Senna as the other videos are for me Mansell's helmet was the best along with Prost,Lauda (1984), Gilles Villeneuve
toujours ayrton senna !!! Les plus beaux casques sont : françois cevert, patrick depailler, carlos pace, gilles villeneuve, jo siffert, didier pironi, elio de angelis et jean alesi, derek warwick, ronnie peterson, niki lauda, nelson piquet, henri pescarolo, alain prost, mika hakinnen, mika salo, derek daly, mario andretti, damon hill, johnny herbert, nigel mansel, rené arnoux, emmerson et wilson fitipaldi, jean-pierre jabouille, john watson, ...........

Yes! Exactly what I was going to say. Get rid with the lights!
SMauler9 and the stupid puns
Completly agree with Senna's, amazing.👍
Even though Senna's helmet is so simple. It just seems so....right.
It looks perfect in every way ☺
The fear that it has installed into all drivers that see it
Is this guy drunk or he doesn't have the ability to speak with his mouth opened?
***** Totally agree!
Br?
Thiago Gomes He just has a worst qualify microphone.
He forgot to put out potato from his mouth ! :)
Mika Häkkinen's helmet should have made it into the list.
Yeah, with the West/Mika designs on it
As a brazilian my favorite is Senna's helmet
Vettels Ferrari helmets are awesome.
"David Coulthard was the first driver to choose a helmet design and stick with it throughout his career?" Wtf? No he wasn't
Nigel Mansell Jenson Button, Prost and Senna?
Where's Gilles Villenueve's helmet? His helmet has to be one of the coolest I've ever search it up man.
I like Elio De Angelis' helmet.
Sebastian Vettel's 2015 Ferrari helmet was also very good
Commentary is so awful that I had to turn off the sound.
and than you have to watch the overuse of effects...
Raikkonen's Helmet
Crさん yes kimis helmet and massas helmet
Crさん Red helmets are always the best.
cevert's helmet was soo stylish
Schumacher's Helmet.
Ali Hernandez Which one?
What is so nice about a full red helmet like thousands of others exactaly like the same? Or his benneton helmet that is like other 100 helmets from drivers in the 90s?
Senna's is so straight forward and so beautiful
No questioning on who's number 1... I would also say many of Vettel's helmets during his Red Bull days were eye catchin . Also Kimi's helmet designs are awesome especially the McLaren and his current Ferrari helmets.
I just missed Lauda's and Piquet's helmet. But I agree Senna's is number one.
Mansell had a pretty helmet too.
What about Jenson Button's helmet?
O capacete do Senna é o mais conhecido em todo mundo..!!🏎
Eu diria mais... É o único conhecido (pelo menos para quem não é adepto de fórmula 1)
I was always a fan of NIki Lauda's helmet, really loved it simple design
I love Rosberg 2014+ helmet
Seven ive seen that helmet in a store
And nowadays we have characterless helmets changing every year with bunch of colors ...

Half of these where one off designs so hardly the top 10 greatest helmets of all time.
Nelson Piquet and Senna’s
Two of the most easily recognisable and in Piquet’s case unique and quirky helmets.
No Fernando Alonso helmet? SERIOUSLY? It is by far one of the most beautiful helmets out there!! Rarely has it changed and is easily recognizable!!!
sinner2208 I'd go with his helmet this year, beautiful and striking.
The numer#1! Só podia ser do Ayrton Senna!! Há entrevistas com pilotos da época, que diziam que quando viam aquele capacete amarelo pelo retrovisor se aproximando, já dava pavor! Que saudades...Até hoje, nós brasileiros, estamos órfãos na F1...
My favourite is the Nico Hulkenburg Black and orange design.
Patrick Depailler should be on this list, his helmet design was ahead of his time. And Gilles too
Definitely agree with number one. Even during his career, Senna's yellow helmet stood out and was iconic. It's taken on new significance since his passing. As others have said, back then drivers kept a design through their entire career, or at least with minor tweaks.
Alex wurz always had a great Helmut design
5:01 fact: James hunt is Raikkonen's idol
Senna's was the most iconic, I agree.
But the coolest and most creative IMO was Piquet's.
I WAS SURPRISED. I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD ALL LAME PICS BUT YOU WENT BACK IN TIME FOR A FEW. HAMILTON TAKING TWO WAS OVER THE TOP BUT GOOD JOB. I THOUGHT PIQUET OR MANSELL WOULD HAVE MADE IT BUT I GUESS I'M SHOWING MY AGE.
2 Lewis hamilton helmets in the top ten? I don't think so.
wolfpackwarriors Opinion based.
Vettle's were badass!!
SENNA THE BEST DRIVER OF F1
SENNA O MELHOR PILOTO DE F1
Vettels illuminated helmet is awesome
Missed out = Ignacio Giunti's helmet. Lightyears ahead of his time.
A Top10 where you know the winner after seeing number 10 and 9 is kinda bad...sure Senna's helmet design is very recognizable and it sure belongs to this list, but there are other designs that are better and definitely deserved to be on this list, like Raikonnen's Monaco Helmet, the golden Schumacher helmet and if you go for patriotism you should announce Jenson Button's helmet for sure which contains his intitials and the union jack (an argument you brought for James Hunt and David Coulthard).
There has been F1 racing for more than a few years you know OP!
Good Video, but in fact you could have shown at least Michaels helmet, because he also didn't change his major design.
Alonsos 2010-2014 helmet?
This guy has such great banter!!!
Vettels night helmets are pretty magic!!
Dislike for all the lights and flares.
Graham/Damon Hill. Best ever. Simple,yet striking and identifiable even in b&w photos.
I actually like Graham Hill's and Sir Jackie Stewart's helmets. Just nice simple designs.
Francois Cevert helmet with the French colors was a very cool thing as well.
Alonso helmet at 2014 Abu Dhabi GP. Final race with Ferrari.
Are you kidding me???
Talking about iconic, how about François Cevert, Gilles Villeneuve, Stephan Bellof, Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansel just to mention 5 that came to my mind...
Please, try it again!!
My favorite helmet... Christjjan Albers black to orange.
Max Verstappen's current helmets are little identical
Felipe Massa and Sergio Perez bouth have awsome helmets...
agreed
Jochen mass had a cool looking helmet.
Kovalainen 2007 Matte helmet.. was good too
the david coulthard looks for me like the dario franchitti helmet
Nigel also got a fabulous one
This editing and effects...pretty much unwatchable.
patrick depailler? nigel mansell? jody scheckter?
these were the best ever.... once were all identified,
now they are all ridiculous, no one has its own personality,
from a distance they all look alike
wowowow, what about Schumachers gold-plated helmet ?
This Video is a joke ???
I have to say Vettel's Night Helmet that is amazing and should be nro.1 and it is not just because Vettel but Seriusly Stewart Helmet.... and Senna's helmet just look so Simple. Don't hate you can wear a helmet full of Stick man's and it's not mean you can't win.
The only thing I liked is KIMI'S Tribute to James Hunt
A fourth Hill, don't forget the 1961 world champion, Phil Hill
Phil hill isint related to Damon hill or graham hill, he was the first american f1 champion driving for Ferrari.
f1images Yeah I know, I was referring to the phrase 'Maybe one day we'll see a third Hill at the pinnacle of motorsport'
F1 should look at MotoGP and ease up on the helmet rules. Valentino Rossi's helmets are amazing
James Hunt helmet looks the best.
Lauda, Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet's helmets are also unique and deserved a spot here
I almost got an epeleptic attack from this video
Where is Lauda's helmet?
It court fire...
Funny, the older and more simple Helmets are the most iconic ones.....But its pretty clear. Todays helmets are so overloaded with collor and bling-bling that you dont recognise them anymore.

starman1968ful
i like Nick heidfelds blue and yellow helmet
i agree .senna 's helmet.
My favorite is Alain Prost's 1993 helmet, because Sonic.
Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso
How do you include James Hunt's boring helmet design and weird helmets from Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Heikki Kovalinnen with no mention of the truly iconic helmets of Nelson Piquet, Gilles Villeneuve, Patrick Depailler, Nigel Mansell, Franco's Cevert, Eddie Cheever or Alexander Wurz??!
I agree with Senna's Helmet as the Number one. Another Helmet that I liked really a lot was Nigel Mansell's one but it isn't in the list
Kimi's 2005 or 2006 not sure Monaco Helmet is the best
Kimi's first James Hunt tribute helmet was from 2012, in the exact same color scheme; not from 2007 please.
Vettel has had some amazing helmets over the years and some not so nice ones but I suppose the variety alone is a feat
How about a video that reflects a drivers personality before the corps told them what they're allowed to think, like Jody Scheckter, Hans Stuck, Mario, Nelson, the connection between the driver and the helmet scheme used to be obvious, guess I'm just another old timer complaining about the old days... and by the way, Hans helmet would make me nervous if I see him in the mirror at Sebring.
what about Michael Schumachers Gold or Platinum helmets?
what about ralf and michael schumacher's helmets
massa´s and riciardo´s helmets´re the best!!!
I liked that angry birds helmet as a kid, I was like 9 at the time haha
I liked Senna's helmet but sorry this video is biased towards Senna as the other videos are for me Mansell's helmet was the best along with Prost,Lauda (1984), Gilles Villeneuve
For me its the NO.1 AYRTON SENNA
where is elio de angelis helmet?
Where was Nigel Mansells helmet?!
Where was Mansell's helmet? Surely worthy of a place?
yo ayrtons helmet is the best bro
I'm a simple man. I see james hunt, I clicked
I am very supersized that Mansell and Shoemaker's helmets are not in the line up
Who will make a modernized version of Senna's helmet? I wound wear it at a Monaco Gp.
I say Niki Lauda's helmet should be there
I really want a Michael Jackson when I get my motorbike-license next summer ):.
toujours ayrton senna !!!
