Massa’s new helmet

Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa will display a new helmet design at the this weekend, during the F1 season opening at the Australian Grand Prix in Melobourne.

The original helmet design and its colors: blue, green and yellow, were largely maintained but with some changes compared to the paint scheme used in the last few weeks.On top of the helmet there was a mixture of green and yellow, with parallel squares drawing. It will now be substituted with a gradient filled painting, ranging from green to yellow.

The “X” shape stripes on the side of the helmet that finish in the inferior part will now be modified to spot flame type endings.

Here is a visual comparison between the two helmets:
