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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
>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
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.
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..
> The Monaco GP helmet is inspired by Lewis’ favorite crystal, the amethyst, which he added that it has “protective, healing qualities.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
When hes out on track all I see is white.
Yeah it's not a very good helmet at all
haha, I was just thinking it was my all time favorite F1 helmet. To each their own :).
[удалено]
This is the point you should realise that taste is subjective.
It's subjective mate
That was a cool helmet though
Boom roasted
I don’t really understand what I am looking at
Amethysts. His favourite gemstone.
Protects his head Chakra from 5G
[удалено]
Is this a meme? I genuinely don’t know?
it’s a stupid twitch meme from a banned toxic streamer that got exiled to youtube gaming.
I think we’re old bud
Ah. The orgone crazies. Wonder why F1 teams don't install cloudbusters on their cars.
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.

[удалено]
Minerals!! Thats the word i was looking for lmao....im a little bit daft at times
lol
My chakra is aligning just by looking at this picture!
Must be shungite
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.

Thanks doc
He says "around the la casa", which for me just really makes it so choice.
They’re not rocks, they’re minerals
Jesus Marie
i swear the shitposting circle on social media way more intertwined than it should be
So its the equivalent of aluminum foil around the head?
Normans replying PepeLaugh
EL NO SABE
How much Adderall are you on and can I have some?
https://youtu.be/Q3keX35f66Y
Lol
wtf are you saying? You believe a rock/mineral does what? Try eating it maybe?

He likes to do photos of the crystals for some reason. He also did a wallpaper https://calicowallpaper.com/collection/erosions/
I absolutely love it but maybe that’s just me
Me too, you can never go wrong with (metallic?) purple and white
Wait, do others hate it?
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.
Yeah I think it’s a 20/10 and by far the best helmet I’ve ever seen. Different strokes for different folks tho
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
Lewis into woowoo magic, confirmed.
It's how he's blessed
Repels 5G
Say what you want about Lewis, but blend in with the crowd he doesn’t.
Yeah, the top view looks like bird poop
I think it needed to be exaggerated more. Everything needs harder lines and to be bigger.
Should have been the majority of the helmet. Akin to these: https://imgur.com/a/wC7oXPA/
Smart as the sponsors would be pissed if they weren’t on the helmet but it’s not about the sponsors
Disagree, I think it’s just right. Not sure what “more” you’d want. More rocks? That would ruin it.
Ngl looks like damage on the helmet to me.
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.
My first guess was bullet shots to show support for the texas elementary school shootings
that would be pretty tasteless. i hope it’s something else
It looks like it got smudged against a tyre
It's a throwback to one that did....
Ooh! Purple crystals!
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
Amethysts. His favourite gemstone.
so just stones? real ones? how is that allowed considering even gopro mounts on a non\_legit helmet can kill you
No, not real ones. Painted ones.
>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
Im surprised people don’t like it. I love it
What do you mean? What is there to like? It’s white with smudges?
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.
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..
What? You have a different opinion to me?! I don't like it, therefore you shouldn't like either!
I'm literally responding to someone saying exactly that?
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.
That’s hot
Why?
Hard
I don't like it,tbh.
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
That's fucking awesome.
I lost quite a bit of respect for Hamilton when he talked about amethyst having "healing properties".
Please tell me he didn't actually say that?

Angela MLM soccer mom confirmed.

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.
["I also want to be clear that I'm not against a vaccine and no doubt it will be important in the fight against coronavirus"](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-53559934)
Thank you. Wow…

how is that any different than people believing in god or prayer?
Because most other major religions don’t involve scamming people by selling rocks at a ludicrous price.
Yeah you're right, they just scam people by paying money to the church. So much better!!
Cause people often get scammed with shit like bath salts or "healing" crystals?
How do you think the church makes money?
It's not, it is equally stupid
The more i look at it the less i like it tbh
When I saw the closeup I thought it was a scoop of like fruit ice cream!
Lol what is it?
Amethysts. His favourite gemstone.
Homer: BORING!
Lmao. That's an awful design and I hope he doesn't believe in that crystal nonsense.
He does.
Well I've got news for you mate
Absolutely hideous
I really like this design, looks like it’s carved straight out of Amethyst. He has better designs for sure but this stands out.
Washed out helmet? Jk jk dont kill me guys.
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.
It isn't hitting the way it's supposed to I think
https://twitter.com/kjscv/status/1530140355043000321?s=21&t=b-qiEjYyV_osvzf4GTXxfg
What is it though?
Amethysts. His favourite gemstone.
Ahh okay. I see it now, thanks!
I like it. It is comoletely different from others helmets, gives a pretty chill vibe.
Yeah that’s what I thought, amethyst is such a beautiful gem. I always use to collect amethyst crystals when I was a kid.
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.
How a day changes things.. I got flack yesterday for saying this, now it is the majority opinion.
The arsham helmet! The anodized purple metal really set it off.
Absolutely love it. Daniel Arsham is a fantastic artist. Highly recommend checking out his work.
Definitely I’ve seen some of his other stuff and it’s really unique.
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.
It looked better in the showcase photo
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.
I'm out of the loop, what's it supposed to be?
Amethysts. His favourite gemstone.
It looks like purple bird shit. Those berries go right through you.
Best helmet design so far
Lol okay
Hamilton could use the poop emoji as a helmet and some users would just say that its fashion and we dont get it.
I don't get the fart clouds. Idea is good though, I like the base color
Looks good in 12th
Lewis Hamilton went full Novak Đoković XD
Was it egged with an amethyst egg?
It looks like birds just shit on his helmet
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.
Really don't understand how people don't like this design. It's super unique and works well with the companion piece
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
I really like it. It’s a little abstract but minimalist at the same time
In what way isn’t it minimalist? Lol
[удалено]
Apparently you need to work on your reading comprehension.
Really cool, would have looked even better with a white suit
Awesome
All drivers helmets are shit these days. Nothing but advertising.
Looks like someone had some grape gatorade and proceeded to puke all over a white helmet
My favourite design ever. The lilac is absolutely soothing.
Looks beautiful.
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.
Just a bit bland and boring
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.
Lo9ks like birdshit on helmet
Clean design. I wish more helmet designs were simple rather than looking like a 12 year olds billboard design
This looks like a 3 year olds sticky fingers
Thats porn !
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!
You've got right wing anger problems.
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.
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?
It's white and purple
As in the background is white and the crystals are purple?
Yes, amethysts are indeed purple and that helmet is indeed white
Indeed. Thank you very much mate
What was the debate? Who saw it as a different color?
Washed out purple.
I had no clue of the meaning but I honestly thought The Stig was driving around Monaco for a short period of time
Now it's beautiful, but too much light makes it look like a bird pooped on the helmet.
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.
is the visor different or am i tripping
Looks super clean I like it a lot
Looks kinda crap
I love it, looks very pleasant. Lavender is a cool color.
Just like he's shot at winning world champion
