Felipe Massa changes helmet design

sempreschumi · #1 03-15-2007, 06:26 PM

Starting with this weekend he will show a new `improved` paint scheme. It looks cleaner to me and it's also more aggressive. I was thinking it should be similar to his change in driving style (this year he should have a more aggressive style than last year, because he will be fighting for the WDC).

Massa's new helmet

I put my money on him for Sunday. Kimi second.

Not very Ferrari looking

It looks a lot nicer and a lot shiner too, great helmet, but not quite as good as Kimi's.

Good looking helmet. Has a more serious and mature look to it, which is fitting I guess. Kind of like Robin becoming Nightwing sort of thing.

I like the darker look to it.

I like it. Looks like the helmet of a future champion

*puts flaimse-suit on*

It's ok but I'm not a fan of the "barcode looking thing" that replaces the Marlbolo logo.

i like it better than the old one

Hmm, have to agree, while I dont mind it on the cars, it seems out of place on the helmets.

Who is the helmet manufacturer?

For what it costs Marlboro to be a sponsor I wonder what kind of advertising value is in a bar code that signifies the word "Marlboro"? IOW not unless you were familiar with racing you wouldn't even know what it was.

And Marlboro's sponsorship lasts for several more years. I think Parent Company Phillip morris is going to us some of its other products.

Like:
Maxwell House coffee = // /////// / //
Nabisco = / /// / / /// /
Kraft Mac and Cheese = // / // ////
Oscar Meyer Weiners = // / ////// ///
Post Grape Nuts = //// /// / / / /
and lets not forget Tang "fruit" drink = ///// // / / /

The bar Code has potential!

and I think Massa will outpace Kimi all year.

People are missing the joke...

Mercury · #20 03-16-2007, 01:02 PM

how much control do the drivers get in choosing the helmet design?
