Hulkenberg will wear a one-off helmet in Brazil

Nico Hulkenberg will be sporting a one-off helmet in Brazil. The German is not looking to make the kind of personal statement that Bortoleto did with his Senna piece or Arvid Lindblad with his Diwali design, as he has no particular tie to the country. It is merely a straightforward acknowledgement of the race.

Hulkenberg’s helmet brings the total to three one-offs for this Grand Prix. He is not the only one making an exception: Mercedes has turned out some special race suits and a few teams have given their cars a different look. Between the home driver, the bank sponsor and the national livery on the car, Interlagos is something of a weekend affair for everyone to put on a show for the one race.
