Fittipaldi Sunglasses
Ronnie and Emerson at the Austrian GP 1973
Brazilian brand called EVOKE together with Emerson Fittipaldi had a cool idea to release a reissue of the sunglasses Emmo used to wear in the 70s.

How F1 started using full-face helmets

"You’ll recognize the 1968 German Grand Prix as Jackie Stewart’s big day out in Germany. It was the race that pitted men against the cold waters of the Eifel mountains and after it was all over, after 14 never-ending-by-modern-TV-standards laps in the mountains, it was the young Scotsman with a band of Royal Stewart tartan around his white racing helmet who emerged from the acres of wet forest as the new Nebelmeister.
On Stewart’s head, like on the head of every racing driver in those days, was an open-face helmet: a reinforced baseball cap with earmuffs, to be worn with a visor or racing goggles to protect against stone chips and German insects. In this very same race, eight minutes down but finishing on the lead lap, was America’s Renaissance road racer Dan Gurney wearing for the first time in Formula One a full-face helmet." by Peter Orosz, first photo by: Jim Culp
Thanks Adriaan for sending me this link.
