Glitzy Helmets for Singapore

-

 It's race weekend! We're excited for this nighttime race and we hope you are too. Qualifying results (posted at the bottom of this piece) are not what you might expect. 

First though, let's take a look at the special, glitzy and glam helmets that we'll see out on the track on Sunday.

First,  Lando Norris. This helmet is so cute, I personally want one. It matches the McLaren drivers' suits, which are black to match with the night sky in humid Singapore. 

There's also mini helmets of this one for sale: click here

McLaren's Oscar Piastri also has a special helmet for this race: 
Kevin Magnussen's newly designed helmet is pretty glam as well, if I do say so myself. Seen below, you can see the white and red complementary design with a graffiti-esque written name of the driver on the bottom part.

Zhou Guanyu is also celebrating - The Year of the Rabbit. Check out the very detailed helmet below.

If that name sounds familiar, it’s because the circuit is named after Ferrari’s late founder Enzo Ferrari. With a track named after the founder of Ferrari, you’d think that the Ferrari team would have some sort of edge, but Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has left his mark in Italy. While the circuit has had its fair share of history, its return to the F1 schedule is more recent than some people may think as due to COVID-19 pandemic.  F1 added the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola after cancelling multiple
