Red Bull's Sergio Perez will line up on the grid next Sunday at Interlagos ready to pounce like a 'Black Panther' and with a new helmet livery to boot.
With two races to go, Perez will be racing in Brazil to defend his runner-up in the championship from Ferrari's Charles Leclerc while promoting the latest instalment of Disney/Marvel's Black Panther movie franchise.
'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever', the latest sequel to the $1.348B grossing original pic, enjoyed its world premiere in Los Angeles last week.
Perez's lid features a dark grey base coat emblazoned with a Black Panther image.
"My helmet for the next race, your thoughts? Hope we can be as fast as Black Panther," Perez wrote on Twitter.
The Mexican driver who won in Monaco and in Singapore this season leads Leclerc by just five points in the Drivers' standing, so it's still all to play for between the two drivers.
"I think in general with Charles it has been good, the fighting," Perez said in Mexico. "It’s always, really close, really tight.
"And you know that Charles will be aggressive, always, but always fair. And it’s something I don’t believe he will change, no matter how we get into Abu Dhabi, what difference will it make because he is like that?
"I also feel like, from my side, I’m also fair. So I don’t expect that to change."
