driver helmets dont switch

[IllumiNate04]

when i signed fernando to aston martin he took strolls helmet and when i signed piastri he also had strolls helmet. not very cool that helmets dont stay the same with the driver when they switch teams. anyone else have this issue?

in mine, helmets are different when they change the team in 2nd season. They're not similar to the real life counterpart, but it's cool anyway

[Drysyn]

nope, when you hire new drivers they get some generic white helmet that doesn't get changed even upon a new season

one of the worst things ive noticed so far. why wouldnt they just keep the same helmet. cmon frontier

cause it's licensed. It's written literally everywhere. Clearly you've no idea what a licensed product means and which rules licensed things have to follow

The pilots' helmets have sponsors.
So if you're in Ferrari and sign Verstappen, it would be very rare to see him in his real helmet because of the sponsors.
I think they have made the best decision to put generic helmets on drivers who change teams.

Why the didnt make it like you can add the sponsors to the helmets? doest sponsort change ov serveral seasons? and are the cars changed with the correct sponsors?

Im hoping one day we can have mods for this game so we can get rid of bugs like this

(I'm sorry for my English.)

I don't know what license agreement F1 and Frontier have, but just like the teams have sponsors, the drivers do too, and those sponsors are usually put on the helmets. Therefore, the sponsorships of the pilots and teams are linked and it is not so easy to change them.

And yes, I agree with you that it would be cool to be able to change the sponsors of the cars or the helmets. But being a licensed game, we shouldn't expect that kind of thing.
(It also depends on the agreement that F1 and Frontier have, if they give him more or less freedom, but I don't think a Ferrari sponsor would like to see his brand on a Mercedes or RedBull)

The thing is we already have this in F1 2022 where the driver will keep their helmet, so obviously there is a way around this with the licence issues.

One thing would be to make a Generic model for driver helmets, so they make a Alonso helmet with out sponsors for when that driver changes teams.

The thing i find funny is I - Williams, and HAAS have both switched to Renault, Aston Ferrari, Yet we still have our Merc / Ferrari logos on the car :p This is a simple easy decal switch - Hell the EA manager from 1999 could do this along with allowing you to change the sponsors on the cars - putting say certain red and white cigarette brands on a Mclaren, and other things. I find it sad that a game from 20+ years ago had more to it graphically than we do here

thank god someone else understands this. its such a small thing, but super annoying tbh. I didnt even think of F1 2022. Glad to know its mostly Frontier being lazy

[Strelok]

This is insanely bizarre. The license excuse makes absolutely no sense. All they had to do is take out all the sponsors and keep the helmet color. Stupid design.

The F1 game lets them keep their helmets. There's no reason AT ALL why this game can't do that
