After Lewis Hamilton announced his helment design for this year we started naming the best helmets to have graced a Formula 1 grid. The office delayed completing the April edition while we named the likes of Chris Amon, Emerson Fittipaldi and James Hunt. 

Here’s our pick – any more to add? Interestingly the majority seem to centre around a theme of block colours (blue, red or white) and a lack of advertising… 

Ayrton Senna

Chris Amon

Stefan Bellof

Carlos Pace

Daniel Ricciardo (2016 United States Grand Prix)

Elio de Angelis

Emerson Fittipaldi

François Cevert

Graham (and Damon) Hill

Jackie Stewart

Jenson Button (2014 British Grand Prix)

James Hunt

John Watson

Jo Siffert

Marc Surer

Nelson Piquet

Peter Revson

Rubens Barrichello (2003)

Ronnie Peterson
