Fans can decide the color of Hulkenberg's helmet!

Renault's Nico Hulkenberg looked a bit like a dark 'Stig' last week in Barcelona, wearing a plain black helmet.

The German said he had yet to decide his lid's 2017 color, apparently hesitating between green and red .

So, taking a bit of a page out of Lewis Hamilton's book, the Hulk is questioning his fan base on Twitter for  help and inspiration.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
