Lewis Hamilton has revealed the helmet he will use as a Ferrari Formula 1 driver, which marks a return to the striking yellow colours he used early in his career
Lewis Hamilton has reverted to his early Formula 1 roots by showcasing a new Ferrari helmet design, featuring striking yellow colors that he popularized in his earlier years. He unveiled his new helmet colors on social media shortly before embarking on his inaugural run in a Ferrari car at the Fiorano test track in Italy. The yellow helmet, adorned with red lines, showcases the iconic Ferrari Prancing Horse logo on the front, alongside Hamilton’s personalized wings logo and his #44 race number on the top. Initially sporting a predominantly yellow helmet with red and blue flashes in 2007, Hamilton maintained a fairly consistent design during his McLaren tenure but made adjustments for his debut year with Mercedes in 2013. However, he progressively made more daring changes to his helmet starting in 2014, transitioning from his original design to white-dominated paint schemes and eventually exploring more radical shifts like his purple and black variations in 2020 and 2021. Seeking to enhance the visibility of his helmet, Hamilton adopted a fluorescent yellow design from 2022 through the previous season.
