Verstappen goes full samba with special Brazilian lid!

.

Brazil's colorful and vibrant atmosphere – the land of the great Ayrton Senna – is an endless source of inspiration for F1's drivers.

Lewis Hamilton has whipped up a special Senna-themed helmet for this weekend's round of racing Sao Paulo, but his fellow title contender will be right there with the Mercedes charger with a customized Brazilian lid of his own.

Verstappen's striking design features his basic motif but the latter is laid over an array of green, yellow and blue splashes while the lid's usual bands of orange on the front are also colored in green and yellow.

It's a busy scheme, but one that should appeal to Max's fans. And for good measure, they can win a signed miniature version of the helmet.

Max gives us the skinny on the design in the video hereunder.
