Tape, chipped paint and dead bugs: Vettel's special Monza helmet
Do you like it?
Sebastian Vettel has gone old-school for the Italian Grand Prix, having a special helmet design for Monza revealed.
Vettel has infamously run many different designs over the years, but can be forgiven for changing things around for Ferrari's home race.
Going for a decidedly old-school feel, Vettel's racing number five is given a more traditional font, with other details echoing lids from the past.
The German flag is made up using 'tape' and there are even dead bugs - detailed!
From a time when drivers themselves created their helmet design using colored adhesive tape. The retro look is completed with (painted) chipping on the front, oil smudges and dead bugs.#ItalianGP 🇮🇹 #Seb5 #Vettel #90AnniDiEmozioni pic.twitter.com/LZVJZovFKD
