GP4: Sergio Perez 2021 Styrian GP Helmet


I present the second Red Bull driver's special helmet for the Styrian GP. It seems like the drivers have done a colour swap for this race, with Max taking on Checo's usual day glo yellow, and Sergio taking on the red and white of Max's usual colours. 

Max's insight was dreadful, so let's see if Checo's video is any better. 

"We wanted to make it a bit Austrian, with the leather effect, in the colours. We maintain the Mexican flag on top, the Aztec colours/signals on the side... I really like it"

Much better! 

I learnt some new techniques along the way, getting a good leather and stitching effect as you can see below. It's one of those where you need to zoom in to really appreciate it.


Sometimes I do a bit of work on the alpha channels, but again you never really see them unless you deliberately look. Here's what Checo's looks like, the mix of leather stitching and the glowing Aztec/Mayan patterns. 


Once again I'm indebted to Jvinu for his fabulous Schuberth helmet and template, and a mention to Jsoria who created all the standard helmets very early on in the season, which certainly helped speed things up in lining things up.
