At this point I just watch all of these Tommo helmet or livery design rating videos in order to see just how far apart our tastes are, because usually the ones he thinks are mid or even clanger are awesome looking to me and the ones he thinks are top tier are usually around mid tier in my eyes, though we do agree that Bottas special helmet is top tier (though so is his normal one to me).
Same here... what I like and what he likes are SO different. It actually takes me a good while to get through these because I just have to keep stopping and going "That's it, I can't take any more of these painful takes." (e.g: Lando's regular helmet = clanger *at best*. That thing looks like the child of a hi-vis vest and 1980's leopard print.) But taste is subjective, so exposing yourself to totally different tastes is an important thing in life.
Same. For example, Tommo ranks the Red Bull lids as clean and bangers and I absolutely despise them. To me they're overly complex without any sense of design direction. Also, Tommo hates Hulk's helmet but I actually like it. White and any shade of green pleases my eye. But that's just how tastes are. I tend to rank the two-tone helmets higher as I prefer simple designs. Having three colors makes it so the design has to be super simple, which Ocon's helmet nails.
Lando has best helmet imo. Its extremely unique and it makes the neon work so well. And the pattern is amazing, it works with inverted colors and with Sennas colors too
Russell qatar and Hamilton standard one are at least a banger if not 🏆, it’s one of the most gorgeous pieces I’ve ever seen tommo, no way you have it a mid brev 😭
I think Lando's standard helmet is actually a lot better (personally) But what I think is even more important: Lando's Helmet is by far the most unique one and so easily identified. I am pretty new to F1 and I can pretty much only recognize Lando's Helmet straight away
For me, if I was shown those helmets and I had to match them, George and Lando's just stick out to me as easily recognisable for some reason. Obviously I could get others using some clues (flags) but those 2 just are weirdly iconic already
Colapinto's Reutemann helmet was the best helmet design in the past couple years. We need more simple helmets that drivers could stick with, not these emotionless cartoons that will be forgotten after a month. Vettel proved it works in the zeitgeist, now everybody needs to follow.
As an Aussie I LOVE seeing the iconic Doohan helmet colours back on the grid!! You have no idea just how many bike riders in the 90’s rocked this helmet theme on their road bikes….
Love how different our opinions can be. I had many different takes. Just hope they keep innovating and trying different designs etc to keep things fresh and interesting
Putting George and Charles anywhere but top 3 is a little wild. I go off if I can instantly know who I’m looking at while watching the race and I always knew where they were. Iconic
I cannot express my utter disappointment in Hülkenberg's standard design choice. He has had so many quality helmet designs before (black and yellow Renault, the pink one for the Silverstone Supersub and the green and pink Aston Martin one). Just why? It's not like he lost his touch or something. Just look at his special helmets. His Monaco one is clean, has loads details from around the area and perfectly synthesizes the vintage and classy feel of the historic grand prix. The one in Miami is quite literally on point in showing off that throwback Miami Vice theme. And the Germany Euro 2024 design is more or less a one on one copy of the german national team kit with the gold, red and black gradient and the blocky font for the 27. It's magnificent. He made a recent post on his Instagram showcasing all helmets of the season and the standard design is definitely the biggest outlier in terms of looks. Disgusting…
For me Alonso is a top tier design, but more for sentimental reasons. His design haven't changed too much, except for a season or so, so is kinda wearing a tribute to a young champion 20 years ago... himself. Wearing literally a classic livery and at the same time, your own livery, has to give points in this ranking.
Respectfully, you're just wrong about Zhou's helmet. You probably haven't even looked at it that closely from all around, but it's stunning. It has the shanghai skyline at the back. It's top 3 of the standard helmets WITHOUT A DOUBT!
As an Alex Albon fan I love his regular helmet, but his Panda helmet was creepy AF. Oscar’s basic helmet looks like one he just grabbed off the shelf from like the 80s-90s. Checo’s 2024 helmets are about as good as his driving in 2024.
How about Fernando’s special commemorative helmet with the film reels of his career? It was super cool, even if the race didn’t turn out well (if I remember correctly).
I'm a minute 40 in and you are disrespecting Oscar's helmet. Its one of the best standard helmets with a nod to Alonso. This is gonna be rough. Now you've gone and put George's helmet as a banger.... Wth? You like salmon pink, I should have known. Taste buds where the sun don't shine
VB helmets are so cool. Sad to see all the helmets so busy and changing so much. That is why the Senna helmet is the greatest of all time: never changed except for the sponsors and def. the most recognized helmet: it also had the same meaning as the blue flag...
Tommo this is my top 5 helmets No particular order but here is my top 5 Gasly standard Gasly psg special don’t know why you didn’t include it Magnussen standard Ocon alpine tribute Sainz monza
Tommo: Ranking the first helmet.
Me already: Nah that's the wrong ranking
Facts
Sorry tommo but you have 0 taste 😂❤
😘
Cold take. But to each their own. 😉
Agreed
They say you should let people have opinions, but when their opinions are this bad. Ehhhhhhhhh
@@jeditrooperteamjtt1484 exactly. Everyone else’s opinions are wrong 😂
mate lando’s special edition at the bottom of mid is criminal
Lock me up
@@TommoMcCluskey i just got to the end and it’s in clanger, i don’t know how many opinions i can trust lmao
That helmet is a true work of art!
Why even choose that helmet as his special one when his Singapore one was clearly the better helmet @@whattheculturefeelin
@Ibukun_1 It can't be clearly if a majority vote didn't result in it being selected lol.
Ah yes, off season Tommo. These winter break vids are a vibe
WE ARE BACK
What if blank joined the grid when??? 😏😂
Need a part 2
Ah yes, the offseason, where Tommo morphs back into a graphic designer.
ahoi hoi
Carlos' Monza helmet is my absolute favorite, it's gorgeous
All Ferrari Monza designs have been banger these last 3 years
A banger, no doubt
Yuki's helmet is by far the best out of the red bull athletes imo. Love the navy plus the red and orange
Yuki's helmet is by far the best overall , imo
Remove "helmet is" and you're still right

This reaffirms to me that I'm not running a cult. Which is good. 😅

Lando has best helmet imo. Its extremely unique and it makes the neon work so well. And the pattern is amazing, it works with inverted colors and with Sennas colors too
Zhou base helmet is insane imo
insanely good i hope you mean
Yeah, I love that intricate design on top and the holographic colors pop against that black base background.
yea, insanely horrid
Carlos' monza has to be top 3, that horse is beautiful. I also prefer George's special helmet than his standard one.
Zhous helmet is top 3 imo
Russell qatar and Hamilton standard one are at least a banger if not 🏆, it’s one of the most gorgeous pieces I’ve ever seen tommo, no way you have it a mid brev 😭
nahhhhhhh Zhous standard helmet is absolutely gorgeous. Best helmet of the year for me.
landos special lids for japan + singapore need shoutouts! 🔥🔥
OMG Landos Japan helmet was fire
I think Lando's standard helmet is actually a lot better (personally)
But what I think is even more important: Lando's Helmet is by far the most unique one and so easily identified.
I am pretty new to F1 and I can pretty much only recognize Lando's Helmet straight away
The designs in the helmet spell his name its by one of the most unique and well designed helmets
Same. The standard geometric shapes helmet design most drivers go for is boring! That's why i also loved a bunch of danny rics helmets
For me, if I was shown those helmets and I had to match them, George and Lando's just stick out to me as easily recognisable for some reason.
Obviously I could get others using some clues (flags) but those 2 just are weirdly iconic already
Videos like this aleays remid me that I fundamentally disagree with Tommo's aesthetic taste
Yuki’s helmet was made for the Red Bull livery and suit 😭
Logan’s helmet is perfect 🇺🇸
Tis magnifique
THANKS MAN!
Colapinto's Reutemann helmet was the best helmet design in the past couple years. We need more simple helmets that drivers could stick with, not these emotionless cartoons that will be forgotten after a month. Vettel proved it works in the zeitgeist, now everybody needs to follow.
Bring back simple helmets.
Not putting landos singapore helmet on the list is criminal
Oscar's yellow helmet is so sick. George's blue one and Sargeant's also killer. Max's is up there too.
Lando's pink lightening edition in Japan was one of my favourites all season. Shocked you didn't go with that.
Bro what that Mid section is by far the best on the whole thing
I frikin love those off-season videos. These make my day less boring.
Appreciate that, thank you! 🫡
Tsunoda’s helmet is by far one of the best
Piastri Australian gp special edition is a banger 2:15
Ricciardo miami helmet this year is just goated
seeing Lawson's helmet at the end with the Redbull large across the back, again reminds me that they own 20% of the real estate available on the grid.
You missed Colapinto's Qatar Helmet, absolute beauty, even if you don't like Football, the design itself is amazing
As an Aussie I LOVE seeing the iconic Doohan helmet colours back on the grid!!
You have no idea just how many bike riders in the 90’s rocked this helmet theme on their road bikes….
I still claim Yuki’s Canada 2023 helmet is the most beautiful and aesthetic helmet ever
The AUS gp oscar helmet was class too
You forgot Colapinto's helmet for the Qatar GP, which was the best of the season imo.
Tommo your Albon and warm pink bias is showing.
man, the purple and neon yellow hamilton helmet absolutely slaps. Almost as good as mick's teal and pastel magenta colours
My Top 5:
Piastri's Brazil Helmet
Leclerc's Bianchi Tribute
Sainz's Monza Edition
Franco's Argentina themed
Doohan's first helmet
Love how different our opinions can be. I had many different takes. Just hope they keep innovating and trying different designs etc to keep things fresh and interesting
Not doing Charles's Monaco helmet as his special was criminal to me that helmet was my favorite alone
Thank you Tommo! Been waiting for some winter break content!
"Not overwhelmed with sponsors" is the worst possible description of a Red Bull helmet respectfully
Glad I'm not the only one who loves Logan's helmet, it's just so clean and beautiful.
Putting George and Charles anywhere but top 3 is a little wild. I go off if I can instantly know who I’m looking at while watching the race and I always knew where they were. Iconic
Carlos' Monza tribute helmet is the prettiest helmet I have ever seen on planet Earth, it should have a category of its own like 2 tiers higher 😅
Big up all your effort and videos this year Tommo, made this season even better!
Happy Little Christmas Eve as we say here 🎉
I cannot express my utter disappointment in Hülkenberg's standard design choice.
He has had so many quality helmet designs before (black and yellow Renault, the pink one for the Silverstone Supersub and the green and pink Aston Martin one).

Picking the DR3 maple one and not the Australia one is criminal from you tommo
Unlucky. Georges Shanghai helmet was forgotten about. Such a beautiful helmet too.
Hulks Monaco white one was stunning, absolutely top tier, it looked actually embossed
Mate, Alonso’s and Piastri’s base helmets are basically the same but they are 2 tiers apart somehow? Justice for my Aussie boy!
Respectfully, you're just wrong about Zhou's helmet. You probably haven't even looked at it that closely from all around, but it's stunning. It has the shanghai skyline at the back. It's top 3 of the standard helmets WITHOUT A DOUBT!
When KMag came out with the matte finish helmet with the oakberry parrot I thought for certain you’d love it
Lando’s singapore helmet might be the best helmet I’ve ever seen ngl
No. How can Zhou's helmet be in clanger, one of the best across the season
The saddest part of Sargeant being such a flop is that we won't ever see that gorgeous helmet design again
He might continue with the design with ELMS.
i think landos singapore helmet is the best of this season
Kinda funny how its kinda close to a favorite driver tierlist for tommo
OP81 Australian addition helmet was missed and it was imo a top tier helmet. The design was flawless.
Alex golf ball helmet was *cheff kiss*
bro IM wearing that SAME tobagan...RIGHT NOW 😮😮😮
IM FAMOUS!!!!
(The one at the beginning)
BRO YOU ARE FAMOUS LOGAN!
Bro me too....😅
That Russell white helmet was the best helmet all season imo
Basically if it has pink tommo will like it and if it has neon tommo will hate it 😂
George’s china helmet was one of the best of the season!
Soo many drivers had special editions almost every other race, it’s hard to tell which one was a “standard”.
As an Alex Albon fan I love his regular helmet, but his Panda helmet was creepy AF.
Oscar’s basic helmet looks like one he just grabbed off the shelf from like the 80s-90s.
Checo’s 2024 helmets are about as good as his driving in 2024.
How about Fernando’s special commemorative helmet with the film reels of his career? It was super cool, even if the race didn’t turn out well (if I remember correctly).
This makes a lot more sense to me if I turn the sound off and imagine that the tiers are inverted!
No way Zhou's helmet is a clanger, Banger at least
Dont become a critic, Daniels Montreal helmet is piece of art
Albons Panda helmet is a certified Banger
I have to say, Alonso's Japanese GP helmet is one of my favorites.
I'm a minute 40 in and you are disrespecting Oscar's helmet. Its one of the best standard helmets with a nod to Alonso. This is gonna be rough.
Now you've gone and put George's helmet as a banger.... Wth?
You like salmon pink, I should have known. Taste buds where the sun don't shine
Albon standard helmet should be in dasgusteng, max’s blue USA helmet should be in the vid in top tier
Gonna be some civil conversations in the comments
Max's usa and spa/dutch helmets are far better than wdc helmet
The two base Haas helmets are so nice. I can't believe they're in bottom tier. 😲
I quite liked Fernando's Boss helmet for Silverstone. It was very designer.
I would have to say I liked Charles’ helmet the best this year
Wait that beautiful special edition Ocon helmet was for Abu Dhabi? So he didnt even got to drive with this thing? 😭
Happy holidays Tommo!
I personally would have swapped lando’s Hungary helmet and Oscar’s senna helmet but that’s just me 🤷🏽♀️ banger video tho!!
VB helmets are so cool. Sad to see all the helmets so busy and changing so much. That is why the Senna helmet is the greatest of all time: never changed except for the sponsors and def. the most recognized helmet: it also had the same meaning as the blue flag...
These ranking videos are just for some reason peak
I'm going to be that guy that says dark purple and neon greeen go very, very well together, so I quite like Sir Lewis's helmet
Love this. Kind of wish you had done 2 separate videos with just base designs in one and specials in the other. It's a long off-season Tommo 😅
Love you Lommo 🙏🏾
Man I love these videos
Can't wait for liveries and driver suits rating for 2025
Good little episode here, but were you aware that you can actually move them around a bit as you go along?
Tommo this is my top 5 helmets
No particular order but here is my top 5
Gasly standard
Gasly psg special don’t know why you didn’t include it
Magnussen standard
Ocon alpine tribute
Sainz monza
The only helmet that should be at the bottom of that tier list is Stroll's and nothing else. The rest are good.
I wish the drivers could fully do what they want with the helmets
What we've found from this video is that Tommo hates neon on helmets
Im still missing Vettel and his helmets. Man was a pioneer of having too many special edition helmets lol
Max verstappens special helmet was at least a banger
My personal best is lando's Singapore edition helmet
Disagree with some but holy hell those franco ones are sick
At this point I’m just watching to argue with a screen😂
Oscar's regular helmet is top tier.
