  • I got a replica of Senna's helmet myself, I use it every day to ride my motorcycle. Since the day it got delivered to me people everywhere ask me about it and say good things, and I've been the most happy chap. Having said that, I can not even imagine how special and beautiful must be having an original one wore by him. A great hug from Argentina, Tom. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the same passion.
  • Thank you for this entertaining video. This is a dream. Piquet and Senna were pure racing drivers indeed.
  • @P3u99
    Amazing ! I could see how emotional you got about the Senna helmet. And it is indeed undisputed how special it really is. Thank you so much for this episode

    That GP at Donnington is one of the best races in my collection. The Williams cars greatly outpaced all the others that season and they were just as much better, if not even more, in the rain as on dry tarmac. McLaren did a master class in race tactics and Senna had one of his best races in his career. The first lap, 5th to 1st in one lap, is legendary.

    WOW, what a fantastic collection. And that Donnington Senna helmet is next level.
  • Fantastic collection! Side by side, Emerson Fittipaldi, José Carlos Pace, Nelson Piquet and Senna's helmets! What a lovely picture!

    Ayrton Senna helmet is the most popular and recognizable helmet in the world. Even if you ask someone who doesn't follow motorsport, that person will know that yellow helmet belongs to Ayrton Senna.
  • Nelson Piquet's helmet, always been my favourite.
  • Great collection, wow! The 'Schumacher' helmet, next to Senna's, is the one that Coulthard wore in Monaco 1996. DC's helmet's were fogging up inside, so he asked to borrow one of Michael's. You can tell by the 'Kenwood' sponsor on the visor and it doesn't have 'M.Schumacher' on the bottom white layer next to the 'Marlboro' logo. Also, the DVAG logo is covered up on the side of the helmet.

    I just spotted the Michael Schumacher helmet David Coulthard wore at the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix. Talk about an unique piece of F1 history…

    What an incredible collection. So much history, so many great drivers represented. Thanks for sharing it. Toms enthusiasm is evident.
  • Please can you make a series on the stories and history of other Helmets ? You have so many it would be fascinating. 20 mins is simply not enough. Brilliant Watch for any F1 fan !
  • @yucch1138
    Thank you for such a great video. especially, when you introduced SENNA's helmet, it gaves me chills and I was not able to stop my tears. Just incredible.
  • @sja9836
    I remember watching the European Grand Prix Donnington Park at home that Sunday in 1993 and the rain there. We were all cheering Senna on. Excellent episode Tom. Loved it.
  • @Akira42
    What a stunning collection. I just spent the whole time spitting expletives, literally. There are no words.
  • What a delightful video!!! I see so many helmuts from drivers I've actually watched race in a GP like John Watson, Michele Alboreto, Didier Pironi, Keke Rosberg, Nigel Mansell, Elio deAngelis, the white Niki Lauda comeback helmet from 1982, and others!! I'm in tears!! ❤❤
  • Great to see these - thank you. If I had to choose just one, it would be Elio's helmet - underneath Gilles.
  • @jeshkam
    Best helmet collection...IN THE WORLD. 😊 Jokes aside, that picture of Jochen in Monaco - isn't it stunning? I truly wish time travel was possible, not just because I love everything about 1970s, but also because I regard the sound of 70s F1 as the best racing engine noise ever.
  • Stunning collection but man, that Donnington Senna is grail worthy. Thanks for all you do Tom. The passion you exude is tangible.
  • @blackdog9951
    As a lifelong racing enthusiast, it is incredible to see this collection of racing history. So many Legends and the stories that these helmets can tell of those incredible glory days. A thousand thanks for sharing this with us!
