THE STORY OF AYRTON'S HELMET DESIGN In Senna’s karting time his helmet consisted of a solid white colour with no further features. He also experimented with a yellow and green helmet before finally deciding in 1979 to go for the legendary combination of a yellow background with a green and blue stripe. This design was designed by Sid Mosca, he was also responsible for the helmets of Emerson Fittipaldi and Nelson Piquet.
When asked about the helmet design for Senna, Mosca said that the yellow base symbolises youth. The blue stripe symbolises movement where the green stripe, aggression. Something that was characteristic of his driving style. The helmet colours are mainly associated with the national colours of Brazil by the general public.
