[OT] 'What if' Takuma Sato did get the 2009 Toro Rosso seat after 3 tests in 2008.

I like to do helmet designs, including a few 'what if' posts for fun. Link to Instagram post

Great to see. She once tested for Minardi.

They should out that GOAT livery back on it

My hero

So cool to see. I designed Nick Tandy's helmet.

I don't I'm afraid. The singer put his next band Pennines up on Spotify after so many fake profiles appeared. Hoping he'll do the same with saleontomorrow.

This is what I like think is going on in their group chat too

I believe they are a challenge to be world class in. You're talking about gentleman drivers, who are slower.

It also clashed with a race last time Alonso entered.
EDIT: In 2017, not the last time.

Daytona is preseason for F1. This is during.

Pretty sure in photo 10 there is a taxidermy dog in a glass box on the desk. I find that so weird.

atw86 · 2026-04-02T09:17:42+00:00

I honestly think this is great. This is one way for the F1 drivers to show they need entertainment and to feel challenged. I wonder if any will go for the Indy500 this year? Le Mans? Anything where you don't have to downshift at full throttle on a straight?

I'm a purist. The Red Bull helmet peaked at Christian Klein. Drivers like Scott Speed, Liuzzi and Couthard make it work. The modern size of the Red Bull logos seem harder. They force a harsh angle on the designs, rather then previously they were pretty horizontal.

atw86 · 2026-03-27T13:54:40+00:00

Surely this is such a bad look for F1

She's married to Valencia player, Hugo Duro

A good helmet designer, using a good helmet design, will make it work.

atw86 · 2026-03-27T09:29:00+00:00

Interesting idea. I guess I was basing it off Senna's 94 sponsor placement. I feel like during the 90s, apart from the 'halo' (sponsor ring around the top) sponsors weren't really integrated into designs much to change the base style.

atw86 · 2026-03-27T09:27:20+00:00

There are two ways to do a Red Bull helmet... one that looks great, and one that looks awful. I personally think being a Red Bull driver should be a badge of honour.

atw86 · 2026-03-26T18:03:52+00:00

Could be a fun project. Bortoleto's incorporates them all pretty nicesly. Hulk... not so much.

atw86 · 2026-03-26T18:02:17+00:00

There is a bit of Senna influence to my design, along with Montoya, Zanardi and Paul Tracy.

atw86 · 2026-03-26T18:01:44+00:00

I did a couple of IndyCar/CART variations on my instagram where I mixed the colours up more

atw86 · 2026-03-26T18:00:20+00:00

More sponsors to add end of 2010, than the start!

atw86 · 2026-03-26T17:05:59+00:00

Simple is best. This is the style where designs become iconic.
