Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen gets a new lid for what could be the Iceman's swan song year in Grand Prix racing.

The Finn revealed the new design on his social media Instagram account, with a typically straightforward 'Kimi' comment.

"This protects my head in 2018".

The design isn't really a full-blown change, but adds a strip of Finnish blue to his usual red, white and black motif.

Scuderia Ferrari will launch its 2018 prancing horse on February 22 at Maranello on the same day Mercedes presents its Silver arrows at Silverstone.
