According to F1i (french website) Boullier is tired of Genii for not putting enough money in Lotus. He might get a high role at Renault Sport F1.

F1 Racing believe he's off to Force India.

But the fact that several sources say he's leaving usually means something...

So he's going to have Hulkenberg as his driver after all :p

Hulkenberg and Perez could really do some great things in the next season. For sure not so dark horses. :)

Here's a nice video from the past, Prost and Mansell on different car setups and Mansell with his crazy strategies. :D

Vergne has opted for 25, 21 or 27

Alonso is likely to go for 14 with Raikkonen 7.
Massa is going for 19, Bottas 77.
Bo77as is clever thinking from a merchandise point of view although I hope we don't get a load of dodgy personalised number plate type choices.

1 is reserved for the champion at their discretion but he'll need to nominate a regular number as well.

Give that a splash of blue and it'd look pretty awesome.

(Yes, I know that's not real).

That helmet looks epic! I always hated the blue in Alonso's helmet...

Not a fan of that, I'd much prefer a return to the simpler days...

The blue is of his home region. The rest is of the national flag (well durrrr obviously!).

Blue is for the Asturias principality. I wouldnt mind him having blue on top, or his number in blue, but when Massa ran the metallic red helmet in Brazil, it looked the bee's knee's.

Best Alonso helmet for me (aside from Mclaren) was his Singapore special;

Kimi's helmet should fit well with the Ferrari as I imagine he'll revert back to red.

Alonso's blue in the Ferrari looks awesome in my opinion, although you see less of the helmet now due to safety precautions.

I never liked raikkonens helmets at Ferrari. Im not a fan of the whole Tribal thing and the barcode on it., but the colour of the red was quite pale in comparison to the cherry metallic red Ferrari used, but when they used the solid red it matched well.

Ferrari NEED to go back to that red;

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.
