Look at that. There's literally no more space on the front of that car.

Bear in mind, this was from a period before the global markets shat the bed and companies could afford to spunk money up the wall to get a piece of F1 action.

Although, European Aviation is an "owner of the team" sponsor and Gazprom never bothered actually paying.

Both were replaced in pretty short order though, which probably illustrates the point.

There is no way if i was a formula 1 driver i would not go for some kind of novelty facial hair. Like big Civil War muttonchops, or a John Waters pencil mustache. Its practically traditional (abandoned i am sure when the drivers became boring sponsor robots)

Lewis Hamilton was one of the few drivers that's still had a unique helmet they didn't change every other week. That is before Maya Angelou poo poo all over it.

I'm very very close to not being a die-hard Lewis Hamilton fan anymore

Quick, someone make an "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings"-themed version of Hamilton's helmet.

It certainly was a very original and totally not copied helmet design that we haven't seen before.

At least we can laugh at that fourth red stripe added for the 2016 season, only to have it's corresponding star robbed by Rosberg The Lesser.
