Hamilton Helmet Predictions

[kartwheels]

Quite a random topic,

Mercedes drivers all use Schuberth Helmets, do we think Hamilton will make the change? I have raced in the past and was a huge Arai GP5 fan, changing hemet brands is hard though.

will Lewis??

The current Merc drivers are both German.
Could be a reason for the choice of helmet, no?

Could be a Schumacher influence mate.

Take a look at Both Felipe and Alonso, both are wearing Schuberth helmets. Could it be the "Schumacher Effect"?

I think a switch to Scuberth would look awesome with a Silver arrows themed Hamilton Helmet

It's not Schumacher effect, it is very simple ....teams have certain helmet types in their wind tunnel (maybe a tie up with the helmet companies)
Ferrari has schuberth helmet in their windtunnel....it only makes sense to use that same helmet of their real drivers coz helmets do influence aero of the car around cockpit etc
That is why Kimi and Alonso changed to schuberth when they came to Ferrari as previously they had Arai?

Maybe merc has schuberth in their windtunnel
Mclarens have Arai I guess
Ferrari has schuberth confirmed

I think Lewis has to change to schuberth

Shrieker, at least this one is about the type of helmet and not the pretty colors. =D>

And I think Hamilton will make the change to Schuberth, as did Raikkonen when he left for a Ferrari.

Well I asked the very same question in the 2nd page of that topic That's why I wanted to give the link. It's been discussed there.

Sorry, I didn't recall your specific post. Perhaps you should've linked it instead of the op?

But let's keep this discussion about the model/brand of helmet, instead of colors.

Hamilton will keep the Arai helmet more than likely.
