Formula One drivers will no longer be allowed to alternate
between their helmet designs after the FIA, the teams and the commercial rights
holder Bernie Ecclestone decided by allowing drivers to have just one helmet
design per season in helps to market the sport better.
The new regulation which along with the drivers numbers
which were introduced last season will be written into the 2015 Sporting
regulations and will enable fans to identify the driver they support more
easily both when they see them on track but also on television.
The change means that we are unlikely to see special ‘one
off’ promotional helmets which were used at the likes of Monaco and then
auctioned off to raise money for charity.
The regulation change also means that we will not see
Sebastian Vettel with a new helmet design during ever session of Formula One
race weekend. The German is well known for wearing helmets with different
designs at nearly every race weekend during his career with Infiniti Red Bull
Racing.
