There is something special associated to the identification of your favorite drivers...What distinguishes them apart, to know at first glance who is behind the wheel. Helmets...
I have been a Jim Clark follower as long as I can remember, His familiar dark blue lid with white visor and those goggles have indeed become iconic...almost to a brand status. There are many images of his early days, when wearing a simple dark colored dome...but, as far as I can document, there has been one instance when he donned a full face shield.
Italy 1967...perhaps his most memorable drive through the field. Here, pictured is Jim during practice that weekend.
Other favorites...Hill of course, with his rowing team stripes...Lauda, and his simple super rat red...Stewart, in tartan stripe, Mario in the silver along with the Ronnie Peterson blue and yellow peak. Dare leave Senna's off my list.
Today's F1 pilot's are a real challenge..changing all the time you can never tell. Give me the old school...when you can spot Tom Pryce, Emmo or Cevert. Those, were the days!
