Bottom post of the previous page:

So I'm guessing that this is the assorted F1 chit-chat thread now.

https://f1paddockpass.com/2018/01/23/cu ... o-helmets/

Sean Bull Liveries has taken all helmets from the 2017 season and made them into 1970's design on a proper 70's helmet. I'd say that pretty much every single one has been vastly improved.

Very refreshing change generally for the better.
Hopefully the Massa reference is not a hint of something we dont know! :dunno: :huh:

@John I think 'History repeating itself...' is a highly appropriate thread to post this in. :wink:

Apprently our lord and saviour and FDWC™ was so impressed with Sean Bulls design that he commissioned him to redesign his helmet - 1970's style.

Sean Bulls design:

Dare I say it looks awesome? A few more drivers should give Sean Bull a call.

It's bad enough that Ericsson continues to pretend to be an F1 driver nee racing driver. Now he's pretending to be Ronnie. I really do wish he'd take his cheque book and eff off somewhere else.

In 2003, three drivers achieved a 100% finishing record. Also in 2003, two drivers scored in 100% of their races.

Before heading to Wikipedia or anywhere else, who wants to guess the names of those drivers?

I know Sato scored in his only race of the year in Japan where he replaced JV at BAR. I seem to recall Sato matched or beat JVs best finish of the year in his only and F1 debut race.

Correct. Gene actually replaced an injured Ralf Schumacher at Monza.

Now who can guess the last driver who achieved a 100% finish rate?

Well it wasnt Ralf I guess :haha:

I misunderstood the question. I thought you meant 100% in 2003.

Last 100% was it not your mate Chilton? He didnt do 100% of the laps but he did finish every race in 2013. The stat always horrifies me.
Unless someone has done it since. Danny Ric must have run it close one year
