I had been wondering something about MSC's helmet design since a long time and I think that F1 rejects forum is the only website where someone could know the answer.
On Schumacher's helmet there are seven sort-of stars (not exactly stars, they have just four apex, but I don't know if there's an English word to describe this symbol).
According to some sources this stars represent his seven world championship... but it's surely untrue: he never radically changed his helmet design after Monaco grand prix 2000 (if I'm not wrong he changed from white and blue to red helmet in order to avoid confusion because the white and blue design was too similar to Barrichello's helmet) and in the previous one (that never radically changed since 1991, and probably similar to the helmet design he had before his F1 debut) there were too the seven stars.
Watching some old photos from his Benetton years I noticed that once the stars on his helmets were less than seven: five until the end of 1992, six in 1993 and early 1994 and later seven. It seem to me that Monaco GP 1994 was the last time he had an helmet with six stars and Spanish GP the first time he had seven.

1993:
This is Interlagos 1994:
Does someone know if the stars on his helmet represent something and why were added from five to six and later from six to seven?
