Formula One has seen many iconic helmets throughout its long and distinguished history. The likes of Ayrton Senna, Gilles Villeneuve, Niki Lauda, Mika Hakkinen, Graham Hill and Damon Hill all wore designs that even to this day remain instantly recognisable to fans who saw them in action.

Back then, a driver tended to start off with a helmet and keep the same general look for his whole career. It was easy to tell team-mates apart, and once you'd committed a helmet to memory, you knew it for life.

Then everything changed.

The simple, bold helmets of the past were replaced by fancy, artistic affairs created by professional graphic designers. Some drivers—Sebastian Vettel stands out—changed their helmets almost as often as they changed their underwear.

Very few drivers could be recognised by their helmet alone, and in many cases, it was even difficult to tell team-mates apart.

In an effort to remedy this, the powers that be decreed that each driver is allowed just one helmet design per season. No special occasion helmets, Monaco specials or sponsor celebrations—it has to be the same from the first race to the last.

Here, we look at the helmet each driver is wearing for 2015 and rank them from the least-appealing ("ugly" is too cruel a word) to the most attractive.
