Here’s a fun experiment. When first received the offer to race with Player’s in Atlantic and Indy, they requested he swaps his helmet colours to match their brand colours. (Think Greg Moore, and Patrick Carpentier.) Jacques famously never changed his helmet design EVER! He said no and was ready to go back to racing in Japan.
In the end, Player’s agreed, but here’s a view at an alternative past where Villeneuve DID change his helmet to match the car.
If anyone needs any clean, bold ideas for 2025, drop me a message. I’m really keen to get this style of helmet design back out there. Let’s try and create something that can easily be draw by a young fan, just like how I used to draw my favourite helmets as a child. Something that can hopefully one day be added to the iconic helmet list of Senna, Mansell and Hill.
