Lando Norris is at it again. Renowned for his often-changing flamboyant helmet designs, the McLaren driver has unveiled his first one-off livery of 2024 ahead of this weekend’s Japanese GP.
Norris’ creation – called ‘Suzuka Driftin’ – ditches the familiar for a burst of vibrant energy, with a blend of eye-catching electric purple and fuchsia swooshes dominating the design.
Nestled prominently on the side is the McLaren charger’s signature neon green LN logo, a constant amidst the changing artistic landscape.
But the dazzling lid isn't just about aesthetics as the creation is a clear nod to Japan’s high-octane ‘Tokyo drifting’ subculture where drivers push the limits of control, drifting their cars around tight corners at breakneck speeds.

Sliding sideways certainly isn’t the fastest way around an F1 track, and especially not Suzuka with its challenging high-speed corners. But the design nicely fits Norris’ daring and skillful style.
The helmet reveal is just another chapter in the 24-year-old's ongoing saga of artistic expression.
Fans have come to expect the unexpected from the Briton, with each race potentially offering a brand new artistic masterpiece of head gear.
Whether it's a nod to pop culture, a tribute to a cause, or simply a burst of creativity, one thing's for sure: with Lando Norris, even the helmet becomes a canvas for pushing boundaries, both on and off the track.
