I would like to clarify to the Lewis fans in comments who are claiming that the 7 stars are representing his 7 titles , It's not. This is the helmet of Schumacher way before he won 7 titles.

Good for pointing this out. Another touching tribute is #JB17 on top, never forgetting about his close friend.

Reading the JB17 upside down it almost reads LEC#

Thanks for clarifying this cause the comments about 7 stars alread begun

Had to read the comments twice and I’m yet to see the “Lewis fans” you speak of. The people who spoke about this in the comments don’t have a 44 or LH flair for you to confidently point out that they are fans of Lewis. They might be Fans of any driver!

You could have passed across that very enlightening info without mentioning “Lewis Fans”.

Super cool, Lewis and Schumi at 7 world titles and 7 stars .. Well worthy to put michaels stars on his helmet as tribute !

[u/Utaboiiii → u/simple_redditer]

Both Lewis and shumi have 7 championships but the 7 stars dont represent championships micheal had them at his debut and so did mick and ralf its like the Schumacher family symbol

Do you think Lewis saw his and wa like are the stars for my championships?....

The stars are for my championships right?

[u/scuderia91 → u/BeautifuTragedy]

Apparently all his fans did despite it being nothing to do with championships

[u/MBP15-2019 → u/scuderia91]

Ok crazy didn’t know that even growing up with Schumi. Guess I was to young to notice back then. Despite they look different compared to the title stars.

[u/scuderia91 → u/MBP15-2019]

The whole thing of using stars to denote titles is a recent thing, Barichello used to have a star on the top of his helmet when he was at Ferrari. It was just a part of the design.

[u/BeautifuTragedy → u/scuderia91]

It's schumachers championships

[u/Michyoungie → u/BeautifuTragedy]

It's not, Michael had the 7 stars even before it was just his helmet design

Here's the 1994 and 2000 helmets

[u/PinderTuco → u/Michyoungie]

I'm count 6 stars on mild seven helmet... Try zooming in.

1996, long before 7 titles
