Not really sure if this warrants it's own thread, but what the hey... With possibly his last race... here's the lid. https://p.twimg.com/AfBCfOaCQAA3Fky.jpg:large Not sure if it's fitting or a bit odd with Bruno also carrying it... PS... on the mobile app, so if the link is busted, can a nice mod fix it for me?
So now we have got Senna, Barrichello and Hamilton all basically wearing the same helmet. (To the person who makes the "literally wearing the same helmet joke", I am on to you.) The picture. please log in to view this image
Silly, everybody should be an individual, we have Hamilton who's idol is Senna, as well as Barrichello who is paying a tribute.. why? Ayrton was his own driver/personality/skill <-- immense , it is just silly other lesser drivers want to "be him" that don't deserve to be. Bruno represents his uncle > rightly so, as there is a blood relation.. but these guys need to go their own way, and make something of themselves on the track.
I'm not sure other drivers want to be him so much as honor him... And I don't see anything wrong with that. I'm just not sure if it's right considering Bruno now carries his uncles lid. I don't count Hamilton's as it has shades of Senna's, but isn't a direct replica. Similar, yes!
Its a tribute to the designer Sid Mosca. So i dont see it as a lack of individuality at all. They could have given it some variety and copied more than just Senna (I believe Piquet was the same guy as well as others i've forgotten) but its his most famous design.
And why cant he wear it? It could be his last race with himracing in Brazil, home of Barichello and Senna. Would be stupid not to.
Slightly off topic here, but kamui is wearing a special helmet designed by Linkin Park this weekend. All in the name of charity.
