Kimi Raikkonen has always carried a distinctive helmet theme or
design since he began competing in Formula Renault and through Formula
One. The tribal marking is commonly used on his website too.
Current helmet – 2012 Season
Räikkönen’s helmet, designed by UffeDesigns (Uffe Tagstrom),
manufactured by Arai (2001-2006,2012) and Schuberth (2007-2009), almost
never changed from team to team, letting only some elements like the
insignia on top evolve. The insignia was painted in white during his
time racing for Sauber and Mclaren until 2005, and red from 2006 with
McLaren and during his time with Ferrari. His helmet has also always
featured a V design running on the circle top -representing a bird
flying – and the inscription “Iceman”). In his debut race, his helmet
was predominantly blue with white and silver details. When he joined
McLaren in 2002 the design was left intact, only making the top circle
all blue (rather than blue and silver) and with some black details on
the chin area. In 2003–2005 his helmet was blue and white with some red
and silver parts, red details were added on the rune symbol that was
added to the M design. In 2006 his helmet was the same, only changing
the blue to black with red and white lines on it. When racing for
Ferrari Raikkonen’s helmet changed radically: it was white with the
middle part black and red with tribals and a black circle with the rune
design in the top, in 2008 black paisley motifs were added in the red
areas. He retained this design in some rallies, although the helmet
style was significantly different for this discipline.
In WRC and NASCAR he used a blue Stilo helmet with Red Bull’s logo, silver and white accents (to resemble Red Bull’s can design and Raikkonen’s Sauber helmet lines), the rune symbol and the M insignia (in white and red) and with the inscription “Iceman”.
In his return to Formula 1, he sported a black helmet with a white diagonal line crossing from each side until the angles of the visor and a thicker red diagonal line beneath the white line and a red number 9 in a corner of the white line (to allude to his car number), a white circle in the top with black edged designs (similar to horns) on the upper front. the algiz rune in the top became black and in the back of the helmet there is the inscription “Iceman” written in red letters. From the Australian Grand Prix, there are more details added on top of the helmet. Manufacturer of his helmet for 2012 season is Arai.
The Meaning?
Kimi has never openly discussed his helmet, other than simply stating: ‘it protects my head’. But in his typically minimal answer , perhaps he said all he needed to…
The marking is apparently shaped after the rune that means “protection”.
Algiz: (Z or -R: Elk, protection.) Protection, a shield. The protective urge to shelter oneself or others. Defense, warding off of evil, shield, guardian. Connection with the gods, awakening, higher life. It can be used to channel energies appropriately. Follow your instincts. Keep hold of success or maintain a position won or earned. Algiz Reversed: or Merkstave: Hidden danger, consumption by divine forces, loss of divine link. Taboo, warning, turning away, that which repels.
