GP4: 2022 helmets updated to French GP

Hey F1 fans. Here's another helmet update. 

Sebastian Vettel - British GP

Sebastian Vettel 2022 British GP 'birthday' helmet

It was really sweet that Vettel was surprised by his kids who painted this for their father's birthday. These kid painted helmets are a nightmare for me to recreate, but from a combination of using photos and hand painting parts, I've managed to put this one together. There were not many good photos of the front, surprisingly, so I've taken a little artistic license with that, but otherwise, I've tried to make it as accurate as I can. 

Esteban Ocon - French GP

Ocon ran a competition to design his helmet for his home race. There were some great and hilarious submissions, but in the end he chose a helmet designed by a kid. It's quite a basic design, and it was tempting to simply draw and fill the shapes, however I wanted to preserve the hand-drawn - felt tip filled imperfections, so I hope I've done this justice. 

Pierre Gasly - French GP

As is usual these days, Gasly's special helmet is essentially a re-colour of his standard helmet with minor changes. This seasons variation is mostly white with the colours of the tricolour used in the trim. 

Charles Leclerc - French GP

I'll stick with talking about Charles' helmet rather than about his race. Going with a more white base and, he's gone glittery blue and red for the trim. Other than children designed helmets, helmets featuring lots of photos are the other more difficult helmets for me to recreate, especially if I can't find the photos. Half of them were quite easy to find, the others I had to take off pictures of the helmet. Thankfully there aren't too many pictures, a lot of them are repeated. 


Thanks, as ever, to Jvinu's helmet shapes and templates and the helmets are free to be converted to other ACSPRH compatible games, just include me in the credits.
