I liked Alonsos 2006 helmet wit a bit of orange...

[kals]

Do you mean 2009 by chance?

[alex1369]

This one 2006

[kals]

Ok, but where's the orange? The LeasePlan bit?

[KevC]

I just despise all of the continuous meddling drivers do with their helmets and colour schemes. Whatever happened to having a sense of identity with your helmet colours and retaining that throughout your career? Minor changes are fine, but continuous wholesale changes are not my thing.

I did see mention that they were not going to be allowed to change helmets any more in a bid to help the fans better recognise who's who.

[kals]

I remember that but disagree with it. Regulation of changing helmet schemes seems a little OTT, even if I dislike the continuous changes that go on.

Can always rely on Irvine for a good comment

Seems pretty standard of media outlets to interview 3 x normally outspoken ex-drivers as soon as a new (and somewhat controversial) rule is announced. Irvine is done, now for Lauda and Villeneuve.

[iceman1]

He also said that Kimi calls him when he's drunk

Only about a current pilots have Irvine occasionally Contact: "Kimi Raikkonen sometimes calls me at the oddest times, when he's drunk."

Ah but Irvine is the least controversial as we know Villeneuve will somehow be able to suggest that the reason the double points are rubbish is because Alonso is better than Vettel. Dont ask how, dont ask why.

Tomorrow Ferrari reveals their new engine
And some info

Redbull losing more staff to rival teams. Whats happening there?

[mikhailv]

Rosbergs final test day ended with him in the wall at 320kph. Pirelli tyre suddenly failed on the straight. So thats the 2014 tyre. Been forced to remove his tweet but its reported on autosport and elsewhere;

Rival teams offering more money probably.

It's not great for Pirelli but that is what testing is for.

Gutierrez is set to be confirmed at Sauber tomorrow, while Ericsson will be at Caterham.
