    8:19 "Both wear bell helmets" shows Arai helmet for Yuki

    6:20 It's not just any lion on Lando's helmet. It's the Flemish Lion, the flag of Flanders, Belgium. The 4 on top of the helmet is decorated with the brittish flag for his dad's side of the family and the flemish lion for his mother's side of the family.
    He's the only of the 3 half-belgians on the grid to actually have a belgian reference on his helmet.

    Hey Kym, at 8:18 you said that both Yuki and Nyck wear Bell helmets, however at 8:24 Yuki's helmet features the 'Arai Helmet' logo on the side. From my limited research it doesn't seem that Arai is owned by (or a part of) Bell however you may know something I don't. Loved the video as always Kym and I look forward to your eclipse photos this week!

      Max Verstappen used to wear an Arai helmet too, but there was a "problem" with certification, if i remember correctly, that is why he went to Schuberth.
      His father Jos also wore an Arai throughout his career, and Max' design pays tribute to that...

    Interesting how Bell has thrown the kitchen sink at F1. They've clearly noted Arai absolutely dominates the karting world and instead of chasing kart drivers, they've gone with a top-down approach to grab market share via F1 driver sponsorship. They've also started using the same shell shape in kart helmets (like Arai does) to further enforce that direct link. Very clever marketing.

    Hello Kym, nice clip on the helmets of each driver. Which vaguely connects to a tongue in cheek comment on a previous post from you on Driver Fashion. When I was watching it I was having a chuckle and thinking, " I wonder what Denny Hulme would have to say about the subject". Yes times have moved on.

    They both had special addition helmets for Monaco...both lids had 'Monaco 07' encrusted with diamonds.

  • @exF3-86
    @exF3-86 Рік тому +1

    Kym, maybe next time you could show how the drivers are fitted for their helmets. There was a time when ARAI was seen in most cockpits but I could never get one to fit comfortably across my forehead, no matter what we and they tried with linings, pads etc. They gave me a headache very quickly which isn't ideal. For all those who know me and think I'm big headed- it's actually true, and we have the measurements to prove it! 🤣
