During Ferrari's wrooom event at Madonna Di Campiglio, Fernando Alonso made his first outing for Ferrari. He appeared at the Italian event with a brand new helmet design, painted on his new helmet provided by Ferrari's partner Schuberth.



The new Schuberth helmet marks a departure of Alonso's long time partner Arai, who have been supplying his helmets since he started racing with Renault in 2004. The German helmet designer is however the technical partner of Ferrari since 2001. It therefore comes to no surprise that all 2010 Ferrari drivers will wear a Schuberth piece, as did Kimi Räikkönen and Michael Schumacher during their years at Ferrari.



With the design, Alonso switches back to more blue in his colours, a reference to his home region Asturia in Spain. The design retains the distinctive two lightning flashes on the top of the helmet.

In 2008, the Spaniard was running a predominantly blue Arai helmet, before dumping the blue for a year in an attempt to better match the Renault's colours.

I quite like the new design.

"Brand New Design" is stretching it. It's essentially the same as the one from 2008. The patterns are a tad different, with bolt on his helmet being black instead of sliver. But really, it'll look no different on TV.

Don't like it

Not bad. I'm still wondering what JB will do - go back to Blue/White/Red or go for Silver/Black/Red.

I'm hoping he goes back to the old one, it's far nicer.

Oh well, Arai are the best!

I agree.

speaking of switching suppliers, JB will have to use Arai now and not Bell.

I think there Mclaren's Offical Helmet Supplier/Partner since Lewis and Hekki used Arai

[Robert182]

[bud]

Yeah Gaz McLaren use Arai! besides they look the coolest

Adrian Newey made Webber switch to Arai when he joined Redbull as he thinks the aero works better.
