    Default Alonso new helmet design

    After the first week of F1 testing Fernando Alonso is so excited with his choice of teams and the prospect of the 2015 season that he has announced that he is completely changing his helmet design.

    Seen below:



    Forza Ferrari!!!!

    Does he too have the knack of switching teams at just the wrong time? We'll see.

    It's a clever joke for those of us who know too much! That is Chris Amon's helmet. Amon was widely regarded as one of the best drivers to never win a World Championship and plagued by bad luck and switching teams at the wrong moment.

    Of course it remains to be seen if the McLaren Honda Combo is going to take both Fernando and McLaren to the Championship in the future whilst the uncharitable might suggest Ferrari's pre season testing speed was a PR exercise. We shall see!

    Amon never won a GP. It's hard to believe.

    Default kiwi

    Is the bird. Seen on Amon's helmet in the 60s.

    The time sheets this week have Ferrari on top virtually every session. Sad that Alonso, who carried the team the last half decade, will not benefit.

    One of these may change your mind about that. The other one is probably every (male) racer's fantasy.

    Default new helmet design

    That picture brings to mind the cafe scene in Grand Prix

    Cigarette?
    I don't smoke
    Drink?
    I don't drink
    Well, what do you do?

    IMO, the bottom center photo is where she looks best to me. In the young photos, you can't see her personality. In the one I like, you can.

    One of my favorite photo's taken by my Dad. An atmospheric shot of Amon having just crashed out of the German GP. I like the 'thought bubble' outline of the circuit above his head.
