Drivers' helmets

We spoke to both our drivers about their helmet designs.

Giancarlo Fisichella's helmet

Giancarlo Fisichella
Helmet Manufacturer: BIEFFE

"I always get the same design and colours, yellow and green, on my
helmets, designed by a friend of mine, since I start driving Karts.
There isn't a particular meaning or reason, I just loved those colours. Only
last year, for sponsorship reasons, I had to add some blue in front of the
helmet, but the back part of it was always with the same two colours."


Takuma Sato's helmet

Takuma Sato
Helmet Manufacturer: ARAI

"I designed this helmet myself because I just liked the colours and design.  There is no special significance apart from I think it looks good.
I have always had this design and it has changed only a little over the last 4 years."
