The FIA has confirmed what can and cannot be allowed with re🔯ga🍎rds to helmet design changes following a ban ahead of the 2015 F1 season.

Drivers have be𒉰en told they are unable to make significant changes t🐼o the design of their helmets in 2015, the FIA reasoning that it makes it easier for spectators and fans to identify the drivers if they didn't alternate.

Theꦅ move has drawn the ire of many in the paddock, not least Sebastian Vettel - who is known for his regular changes of helmet design -, stating that he would give any subsequent fine to charity if he is punished for usin🔥g a new helmet.

The FIA has now rubber-stamped th♒e move with an update to its sporting regulations, stating that the helmets must retain the same substantial colours, while minor changes - such as those for sponsors - can still be made.

Other changes to the regulations include the clarification that driv🍸ers will surrender their racing number if they haven't competed for two consecutive seasons.
