How can you tell F1 cars apart?

[hushed kite]

I find it quite difficult to tell drivers apart on cars without numbers written on

The T-Cam is the easiest way. One driver (normally the ‘first’) has a black t cam, the other has a yellow cam. Exception is Mercedes, ham has the yellow cam, Russell black.

You can also try and use the helmet, each driver has a different design

This image shows each teams’ drivers, numbers, helmet designs, and Tcam color [More updated version below]

Whoever made that should update it with Lewis' yellow helmet

You're right. Here is a more up to date spotters' guide

@hushed kite What I did when I first started watching F1 and was confused about the different drivers - I printed out a spotters' guide like the one above ('open original' file first so it is high quality), and had it with me whilst I was watching the races. Soon I could recognize them

this is such a helpful guide, I’m going to print it. thanks for sharing
