If F1 Helmet Designs Were Liveries, The 2016 Grid Would Look Like This

The current Formula 1 grid certainly lacks colour, but these concept colour schemes show that making individual liveries from each driver’s helmet design would make for eye-catching races
If F1 Helmet Designs Were Liveries, The 2016 Grid Would Look Like This

Formula 1 drivers now have a chance to show their personalities through their own individual numbers and striking helmet designs.

But car liveries have never been something they’ve been able to change. They’re stuck with what’s given to them and in modern times, that’s usually a boring colour like grey, silver, black or white.

Talented graphic designer Tim Holmes has found a solution, however, by creating the entire 22-car 2016 F1 grid using the designs of each driver’s helmet.

He’s used the helmet colour schemes and design components and given each driver their own individual livery. Some of them look absolutely mad.

From Lewis Hamilton’s white, gold and red colour scheme to the grey and green of Nico Hulkenberg, there’s certainly some eye-catching liveries based off helmet designs.

With the current F1 grid featuring an astonishing lack of colour (just 15 years ago we had bright blue, green, orange, yellow), it’s refreshing to see such bright and bold livery designs.

Sadly, they’re only concepts. But how cool would it be for drivers to have their own individual liveries, from their own creativity and ideas?

Massa’s one kind of reminds me of the “psychodeleic” Porsche 917

This would be insanely awesome! Let the drivers have a say in the livery! Some custom things here and there could help people follow drivers better while they watch on TV or in person too

These look great.
Especially with the 2017 cars as a background.
