GP4: 2022 Helmets from the Canadian GP and some from the British GP

I'm slowly trying to keep up with all the helmet changes, but I've updated the 2022 helmet pack with some of my latest creations

Canadian GP

Lance Stroll 2022 Canadian GP helmet

Let's start with the Canadians at their home GP. Here's Lance Stroll's helmet, designed by Mark Antar, and is essentially a white version of his standard 2022 helmet. It also features a map of Montreal on the back. A smart helmet, and I like the way the red maple leaf stands out. 

Nicholas Latifi 2022 Canadian GP helmet

The other Canadian, Latifi, also ran a special helmet for his home race, his first home race after Covid related postponements. This one is dripping with maple syrup, as the blue parts of his helmet turned red and has small maple leaf emblems dotted around it. Williams also seem to have a special logo for each race as the Canadian GP version appears on Latifi's helmet. 

Lewis Hamilton 2022 Canadian GP helmet

Lewis ran a slightly amended version of his standard lid. 

British GP

Lewis Hamilton 2022 British GP helmet

Not content with one pride helmet, Hamilton ran another iteration for the British GP. 

Sebastian Vettel 2022 'Mansell' British GP helmet

Vettel owns one of Mansell's 1992 Williams FW14B's and brought it along to Silverstone, demonstrating it with a carbon neutral fuel. It was Seb's birthday and with Mansell in attendance, it was a joy to see Vettel fanboy a little. Vettel ran a logo free version of this helmet in the Williams, inspired by Mansell's iconic helmet design, but also ran this version on Friday. I actually made this helmet on Friday, expecting him to race it, but he ran a helmet designed by his kids to celebrate his birthday. Along with his standard helmet, he managed to run 4 helmets during the weekend. 

Alex Albon 2022 British GP helmet

Alex came to Silverstone with this uniquely coloured helmet featuring cartoon representations of his family of pets. Sadly, Vettel couldn't avoid running into the back of him at the first corner, sending him ricocheting off the wall and having several more collisions with other cars before coming to a halt. Thankfully he was checked out and was OK, another testiment to the strength of these heavy cars keeping the drivers safe. 

Zhou Gyanyu 2022 British GP helmet

Zhou appeared at the British GP with this Union Flag coloured helmet with various London icons, including the London Eye, the London bus, a phone box, Tower Bridge and Elizabeth tower which houses Big Ben. This race will mostly be remembered for the huge accident he was involved in, skidding on his halo and clearing the tyre barrier at the first turn. Mercifully, they got Zhou out unscathed, but it was a reminder of how easily things could go wrong in motorsport. We are all grateful for the safety innovations that have allowed drivers to race another day following these scary shunts. 

I don't know when I'll get an opportunity to create the remaining special helmets, but stay tuned here for the latest news. 

Thanks as ever to Jvinu for his helmet shapes and templates. These are compatible with ACSPRH helmets in other games (after conversion).
