    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. :)

    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 it. Looks like the helmet of a future champion

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

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

    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.

    i suppose drivers have total control. of cos, bearing in mind the fact that sponsor decals can't be ignored...

    Whocares about them tho? Isnt the point of sponsorship to make an impression on people watching the sport not people not watching? and obviously any Ferrari fan knows what company it is..

    Soo I think its working well :)

    Mike, do you paint helmets for any pro drivers that we might know?
