In his karting years, Rosberg had a white helmet with a blue stripe, then, in F1, Sid Mosca (the designer that designed helmets of Brazilian drivers like Ayrton Senna, Rubens Barrichello and Emerson Fittipaldi) painted Rosberg's helmet white with a blue circle on the top and the stripe was divided in a big blue rectangle covering the visor area with some blue rectangles behind (in a fashion almost similar to Didier Pironi's helmet). in 1984, when Rosberg went in Williams, the rectangles were replaced by a yellow trapezium on the rear area trepassing the sides of the helmet. His son Nico has a helmet slightly inspired on his helmet(with gray replacing blue and with flame motifs).
