Lando Norris, George Russell and Antonio Giovinazzi will be racing this weekend with special Italian-themed helmet designs.
The FIA was well inspired to revoke for this year the rule that previously restricted helmet livery changes to just two substitutions over the course of a season, as fans are now treated to some impressive artwork.
Local hero Giovoinazzi's lid pays tribute to his home country, the Alfa Romeo driver inscribing on his design the following:
"If you know her, you can’t not fall in love with her. If you’re far away, you miss her. If you were born there, you can’t help it. Long live Italy."
McLaren's Lando Norris opted for a culinary motif, with a pepperoni and cheese pizza slapped on the top of a lid that also includes a Union Jack and Flanders lion that honours his British-Belgian heritage.
As for Russell, the Williams charger's helmet showcases an Italian-colored variation of his basic design which apparently, he will be using at Monza and at next week's Tuscan Grand Prix at Mugello, having embedded both track layouts into his scheme.
