Lewis Hamilton reveals glittering City of Lights-inspired helmet for Las Vegas Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton has unveiled a special helmet for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, featuring a full silver sparkle design, pivoting from his usual bright yellow design with red accents.

Hamilton shared the design on social media ahead of the race weekend in the City of Lights.

In addition to the new helmet, the seven-time champion and his team-mate Charles Leclerc will be sporting new race suits, featuring three different shades of red to celebrate 20 years of the Maranello outfit's collaboration with Puma.

"There will be the original burgundy, showcased at the Scuderia’s 1000th Formula 1 Grand Prix – held at Mugello in 2020 –, the red of the 2007 car, which won the drivers’ title with Kimi Räikkönen, and the red of the F2008, which secured the constructors’ title the following season with the Finn and Felipe Massa," the official Ferrari website states.

Hamilton heads into the final three races of the season in sixth place in the drivers' standings with 148 points, 66 points behind Leclerc.

The duo will be looking to put the Brazilian Grand Prix behind them after they left Interlagos with a double DNF.

"Vegas is a unique event on the calendar: the atmosphere, the schedule, with the race taking place on Saturday night, and the track itself all make it something special," team principal Fred Vasseur explained.

"Over the past few events we have showed good speed and have been able to fight at the front, we will aim to repeat it this weekend. In Vegas, it will be particularly important to focus on all the specific challenges this circuit presents.

"Managing the tyres in very low temperatures will once again be a key factor, as will reading the race correctly to identify the best strategic opportunities. As always, our focus is on ourselves, making sure we leave nothing on the table in terms of performance."
