Did not realize the sponsors were even there the first times I saw it. I really like the sponsors being more subtle, it's nice to see designs that aren't inhibited by 15 different companies.


_kagasutchi_

When hes out on track all I see is white.


_downvote_if_ur_gay

Yeah it's not a very good helmet at all


ShorkieMom

haha, I was just thinking it was my all time favorite F1 helmet. To each their own :).

This is the point you should realise that taste is subjective.


pigeonkiller36

It's subjective mate

That was a cool helmet though

Is this a meme? I genuinely don’t know?


[deleted]

it’s a stupid twitch meme from a banned toxic streamer that got exiled to youtube gaming.

I think we’re old bud


Mosh83

Ah. The orgone crazies. Wonder why F1 teams don't install cloudbusters on their cars.


CX52J

It’s based on an art piece that is being auctioned off for mission 44 I believe. The art piece looks like a stone helmet with chunks missing with purple amethysts inside like the helmet is a gemstone.


silentbob1301

Actually sounds kind of nifty...but i also like rocks so...and i dont mean healing rocks or any of that bs, i just like random assortments of solidified chemicals and shit

Must be shungite


[deleted]

Anyways, um... I bought a whole bunch of shungite rocks, do you know what shungite is? Anybody know what shungite is? No, not Suge Knight, I think he's locked up in prison. I'm talkin' shungite. Anyways, it's a two billion year-old like, rock stone that protects against frequencies and unwanted frequencies that may be traveling in the air. That's my story, I bought a whole bunch of stuff. Put 'em around the la car. Little pyramids, stuff like that.


PaperStackMcgee

Thanks doc


jawntist

He says "around the la casa", which for me just really makes it so choice.


Plus-Day-3700

They’re not rocks, they’re minerals

RaGe_HiToKiRi

wtf are you saying? You believe a rock/mineral does what? Try eating it maybe?


[deleted]

It looks better than the Instagram posts of it but it still doesn’t look great. I feel like they could have done more with the concept. The sponsors being in white lettering is really nice though.


standarsh618

The actual plaster casting is where it’s at. It’s never going to be easy to imitate the depth of those crystals with an image, it will only work at one angle


a141abc

Yeah Daniel Arsham's got some really sick work but it really doesn't work like this This looks like a bunch of stickers on a helmet, not really a design


SpecterJoe

He likes to do photos of the crystals for some reason. He also did a wallpaper https://calicowallpaper.com/collection/erosions/


moby323

I absolutely love it but maybe that’s just me


agnaddthddude

Me too, you can never go wrong with (metallic?) purple and white


shewy92

Wait, do others hate it?


OSUfan88

I don’t think I understand what I’m seeing. It looks like he got some grease or something on the side? Is that the look? It sort of looks like a faded t-shirt, where the image is wearing off. Or one of those temporary tattoos on day 3.


basedgodsenpai

Yeah I think it’s a 20/10 and by far the best helmet I’ve ever seen. Different strokes for different folks tho


Scojo91

Went and looked at the post after you mentioned it. I shouldn't have. >inspired by my favourite crystal, amethyst, which has protective, healing qualities wut


renesys

Lewis into woowoo magic, confirmed.


DurfGibbles

It's how he's blessed


lerdnord

Repels 5G


Nopengnogain

Say what you want about Lewis, but blend in with the crowd he doesn’t.


TheDeamonMeteor

Yeah, the top view looks like bird poop


SUP_CHUMP

I think it needed to be exaggerated more. Everything needs harder lines and to be bigger.


ElbertAlfie

Should have been the majority of the helmet. Akin to these: https://imgur.com/a/wC7oXPA/


SharpPixels08

Smart as the sponsors would be pissed if they weren’t on the helmet but it’s not about the sponsors


Totoro12117

Disagree, I think it’s just right. Not sure what “more” you’d want. More rocks? That would ruin it.


AcanthopterygiiFit85

Ngl looks like damage on the helmet to me.


[deleted]

From his insta, looks like it’s based on an art piece where a cast helmet has been cracked into and amethysts are inside - so yes exactly, it’s designed to look like damage.


babubhaia

My first guess was bullet shots to show support for the texas elementary school shootings


[deleted]

that would be pretty tasteless. i hope it’s something else


MangoSpare6163

It looks like it got smudged against a tyre


delirio91

It's a throwback to one that did....


gomurifle

Ooh! Purple crystals!


MHWGamer

what is it supposed to mean? I looked at it for 1 minute from all angles and it is either nothing at all/bird poop (hope the bird is ok) or an alien with a helmet


shokzz

Amethysts. His favourite gemstone.


MHWGamer

so just stones? real ones? how is that allowed considering even gopro mounts on a non\_legit helmet can kill you


shokzz

No, not real ones. Painted ones.


MrAt0mica

>so just stones? real ones? how is that allowed considering even gopro mounts on a non\_legit helmet can kill you Can't tell if you dropped your /s or are being serious


DustyMartin04

Im surprised people don’t like it. I love it


[deleted]

What do you mean? What is there to like? It’s white with smudges?


Nakai-Son

I dont love it but I can see the appeal. It's clean, simple, colors are nice. Big departure from the very busy and not very cohesive looks of most helmets.


[deleted]

I love a simple helmet... Lance Stroll's Aston Martin helmet is incredible.. but this is just leaving a lot to be desired... it doesn't translate well to be seen from far away or at 200 mph..


BuzzkillBrahhh

What? You have a different opinion to me?! I don't like it, therefore you shouldn't like either!


[deleted]

I'm literally responding to someone saying exactly that?


reboot-your-computer

Yeah I’m not a fan of this helmet. Lewis normally has great helmets, but this has to be the worst I’ve seen him introduce.


PotatoMan19399

That’s hot


[deleted]

Why?


Lasaif

Hard


[deleted]

I don't like it,tbh.


cbruins22

Might be my least favorite helmet I’ve seen. The idea has some potential, the execution didn’t stick the landing though. Just my opinion though


SweetMeatin

That's fucking awesome.


gsurfer04

I lost quite a bit of respect for Hamilton when he talked about amethyst having "healing properties".


ProtonPacks123

Please tell me he didn't actually say that?


JuanG12

What do you mean, anti-vax Hamilton believes in bogus? Colour me shocked.

Oh yikes, do you happen to have a source on the anti-vax bit? That’s… disappointing.

Stell1na

Thank you. Wow…


ReasonableConfusion

Yooo... my buddy Dr. Baughb Reignbough is a naturopath/chiropractor/chakra realignment specialist and he sells the most potent organic amethyst crystal nodules. They’re so powerful you can’t usually get them without a consultation and prescription but if you DM me I can probably hook you up. He also has some pretty sick deals on MMS and extra strength Black Salve. If you’re worried about cost don’t sweat it. You can pay him in Dogecoin.


ShorkieMom

how is that any different than people believing in god or prayer?


Drdres

Because most other major religions don’t involve scamming people by selling rocks at a ludicrous price.


StratifiedBuffalo

Yeah you're right, they just scam people by paying money to the church. So much better!!


AceMKV

Cause people often get scammed with shit like bath salts or "healing" crystals?


StratifiedBuffalo

How do you think the church makes money?


astrojose9

It's not, it is equally stupid


siste-bruker-no

The more i look at it the less i like it tbh


krpiper

When I saw the closeup I thought it was a scoop of like fruit ice cream!


[deleted]

Lol what is it?


shokzz

Amethysts. His favourite gemstone.


Jimmie_Jamz

Homer: BORING!


earthmosphere

Lmao. That's an awful design and I hope he doesn't believe in that crystal nonsense.


technobeeble

He does.


AceMKV

Well I've got news for you mate


Deepcookiz

Absolutely hideous


kanoteardrops

I really like this design, looks like it’s carved straight out of Amethyst. He has better designs for sure but this stands out.


[deleted]

Washed out helmet? Jk jk dont kill me guys.


WhispersOfOxenfurt

I like the idea, but the execution is not that great. Would have been nice to see larger chunks of the amethyst come through. At first I thought it was some subtle lavender design. I think they could have done way more with the clashing textures of a clean helmet and an unrefined gemstone, but oh well.


986cv

It isn't hitting the way it's supposed to I think

eddiedeli

What is it though?


shokzz

Amethysts. His favourite gemstone.


eddiedeli

Ahh okay. I see it now, thanks!


Manuag_86

I like it. It is comoletely different from others helmets, gives a pretty chill vibe.


kanoteardrops

Yeah that’s what I thought, amethyst is such a beautiful gem. I always use to collect amethyst crystals when I was a kid.


AceMKV

Colours are great but those patterns aren't doing it any favours. The top view of the helmet literally looks like a bird took a shit on it.


SquidCap0

How a day changes things.. I got flack yesterday for saying this, now it is the majority opinion.


standarsh618

The arsham helmet! The anodized purple metal really set it off.


yungsqualla

Absolutely love it. Daniel Arsham is a fantastic artist. Highly recommend checking out his work.


kanoteardrops

Definitely I’ve seen some of his other stuff and it’s really unique.


SquidCap0

If this is his work, then no thanks.. i already know that he is a scammer or just incompetent and good at convincing people what "art" is.


[deleted]

It looked better in the showcase photo


funkymonkeyinheaven

I'm loving Lewis working with digital artists, perhaps the helmets aren't the best. But it's great to see collaborations across worlds come together. I know most hated it, but I even liked the MDG Mercedes showcar livery.


PersimmonLow4297

I'm out of the loop, what's it supposed to be?


shokzz

Amethysts. His favourite gemstone.


supernakamoto

It looks like purple bird shit. Those berries go right through you.


DeliciousLight

Best helmet design so far


[deleted]

Lol okay


[deleted]

Hamilton could use the poop emoji as a helmet and some users would just say that its fashion and we dont get it.


DQDQDQDQDQDQ

I don't get the fart clouds. Idea is good though, I like the base color


WebEcstatic7151

Looks good in 12th


alenpetak11

Lewis Hamilton went full Novak Đoković XD


appleburger17

Was it egged with an amethyst egg?


gavilan1227

It looks like birds just shit on his helmet


PhatSunt

Bad work was done by somebody in the making of that helmet. It looks like someone did a poor job of stripping the paint on his purple one, leaving behind some residual purple paint and a default white helmet. Whatever he was going for, I don't think this is a great interpretation of it.


ArkGuardian

Really don't understand how people don't like this design. It's super unique and works well with the companion piece


NeighborhoodLow8503

I’m a huge fan of Arshams work and this is by far the best helmet design I think I’ll ever see. I’ve only seen Arshams post on Instagram so I hope Lewis or F1 references him so that some of the people who don’t get it can have a look at his work


killer_blueskies

I really like it. It’s a little abstract but minimalist at the same time


[deleted]

In what way isn’t it minimalist? Lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Apparently you need to work on your reading comprehension.


jt663

Really cool, would have looked even better with a white suit


Negative-West-3083

Awesome


Moto_919

All drivers helmets are shit these days. Nothing but advertising.


RUNELORD_

Looks like someone had some grape gatorade and proceeded to puke all over a white helmet


desmo-dopey

My favourite design ever. The lilac is absolutely soothing.


DeadBoyOps

Looks beautiful.


Andigaming

The helmet does not translate well when being viewed with him in the car on the track, just looks like a generic white helmet in those circumstances.


NetAccomplished3221

Just a bit bland and boring


SquidCap0

It still looks like crap. Literal crap that is smeared on the outside. Please, look at it as a helmet. Not as Lewis's Helmet. You will see it too, crap.


absrider

Lo9ks like birdshit on helmet


[deleted]

Clean design. I wish more helmet designs were simple rather than looking like a 12 year olds billboard design


liitle-mouse-lion

This looks like a 3 year olds sticky fingers


Unauthorized404

Thats porn !


RaGe_HiToKiRi

Why doesn't he do a Anti violence helmet.. since he can solve all these issues for everyone with his social media presence? We would never have violence or wars ever again! Fucking Awesome bro!


vvorkingclass

You've got right wing anger problems.


RaGe_HiToKiRi

I'm not angry nor a right winger, but at least I'm not naive or stupid. I bet Lewis can send healing powers through the minerals in his helmet to all the people in the world that are suffering.


Tommy_SVK

Guys I have a very important question that I am discussing with my colleague. I need your thoughts. What is the color of this helmet?


caspercunningham

It's white and purple


Tommy_SVK

As in the background is white and the crystals are purple?


caspercunningham

Yes, amethysts are indeed purple and that helmet is indeed white


Tommy_SVK

Indeed. Thank you very much mate


caspercunningham

What was the debate? Who saw it as a different color?


[deleted]

Washed out purple.


scobar94

I had no clue of the meaning but I honestly thought The Stig was driving around Monaco for a short period of time


[deleted]

Now it's beautiful, but too much light makes it look like a bird pooped on the helmet.


6151rellim

When they first panned to it in FP1 I paused my tv for a few minutes thinking what the hell am looking at.. trying to solve the riddle lol… but now that I know what it is, it’s still just okay. Me looking at this led to my next thought: F1 should remove livery costs from the budget cap. I was bummed to not see cool Monaco liveries… keep the cars visually fun and creative for the fans! I would have bet on it that Mclaren would have gone to a Monaco chrome livery, especially with their new Google sponsor.


nostoppingme13

is the visor different or am i tripping


ThisIsPeakBehaviour

Looks super clean I like it a lot


Derfaust

Looks kinda crap


Pece17

I love it, looks very pleasant. Lavender is a cool color.


1korita
