Esteban Gutierrez has unveiled a special one-off helmet design for his home race in Mexico this weekend. His post on Instagram unveiled a colourful tribute to Ricardo and Pedro Rodriguez, who both raced in F1. Ricardo was killed at the age of 20 during practice for the 1962 Mexican Grand Prix, while Pedro died nine years later with two grand prix victories to his name. Gutierrez will be racing in the Mexican Grand Prix for the first time having been a Ferrari reserve driver last season.
