Lando Norris will compete in a completely unique Herend helmet at the 39th Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend.
The 24-year-old McLaren driver and the Herend Porcelain Manufactory presented the special, hand-painted protective equipment on Wednesday.
"It will be special to compete in this crash helmet, because in the past period it was not often that I made a new helmet in cooperation with anyone. The fact that I can compete in this also hopefully means that I can drive faster because of it.”
