It doesn't look that bad. When it's going quickly no one will notice the purple anyway. They could have stuck fluro pink on it or Hamilton Helmet green so it could be worse.

Re: Ferrari (Di Montezemolo) - Vettel Is Better Than Hamilto
Not sure if one can categorically say Red Bull-Vettel was a tenth quicker than McLaren-Hamilton in Austin Q3, when the latter managed to make it so close despite making bigger mistakes. Let alone the fact that qualifying pace doesn't always represent race pace. Davidson's analysis of the final lap o...
