After showing the new helmet designs of all the Ferrari drivers last week, the Mercedes helmets have also been shipped to Valencia.

While Nico changed almost nothing on his design, Michael switched to a reflecting Chrome-Design on the dragon and the lines.

All the luck to them for the upcoming season !

During the upcoming weeks without Formula 1, nevertheless, we still want to share our love for racing with all of  you. Therefore we had a look into our foto-archives and found some special pictures where we can tell you a short story about. All of these little and exciting moments of the year, we want to show you in our Schuberth Racing review of the previous year. Today we start with the first part of it – the GP of Japan in Suzuka:

Heavy rain in Japan was the reason for some confusion on Saturday morning and therefore the Qualifying was started on Sunday.

If it rains as strong as in Japan, a Formula-one helmet must be cleaned and dried again, up to the smallest opening for perfect comfort and the perfect look.

In Japan this was very important on Michael Schumacher’s helmet. His helmet appeared in a slightly changed design in Japan. On each side, new sponsors logos were gleaming on the helmet of the 7-times world champion. A reason for us to show to you a few nice pictures from Japan:

Because the decision occurred relatively at short notice to Japan GP, the logos could not become fully painted for the Race in the Far East.

Hence, we had to stick the logos on all 3 helmets of Michael on the sides. The result is worth a notice. We hope you like it, too. But it was a lot of work, always to stick new logos on it and remove them after each session for cleaning the gear. But this is what makes the Schuberth Racing Service so special.  To give the products the special look. The logos became then fully painted for the last three races on all helmets.

In Abu Dhabi, we had the opportunity to take some pictures with our new SF1 helmet on Track.

Enjoy the SF1 special edition of Rosberg & Massa for the Pirelli Tyre Testday:

The last corner in Abu Dhabi and in the background the Yas Marina Hotel.

A beautiful Stewardess of Etihad was happy to act as our model sitting behind the helmets on the starting grid.

The next one is also a nice one – face-to-face – Massa against Rosberg :-)

And the last one: carbon fibre in detail :)

How do you like it?

We looking forward to the 2011 Season. Stay tuned…
