GP4: British GP and Austrian GP helmets

I've managed to catch up with the majority of the helmets now, I'm still working on Vettel's British GP helmet, but here's a selection of what's been added to the latest pack. 

Sergio Perez

Sergio Perez 2022 Austrian GP helmet

First up is Sergio Perez's Austrian GP helmet. Designed by MDM Designs, the helmet is mostly red and white, in line with the Austrian flag, home of Red Bull. It also features in shiny version of the Red Bull statue that's at the circuit. In the end I had to recreate that part manually and I'm quite happy with the result. 

Max Verstappen

Max continues his tradition of running special helmets at the Red Bull Ring. This time it's blue and yellow. Designs of the helmet, by KV Designs, was revealed quite early in the week, so I was able to get a head start on this. It also features reflective background pattern. 

George Russell

This helmet is part of the Super Human/Evolution NFT range, and coincides with the specially painted rear wing of the car. Designed by MBSJQ who also designed various posters, one of which I was able to use as part of the helmet design. I couldn't find any particularly clear pictures of the rear of the helmet, so I've left it plain for now. 

Please Note: that Russell used a clear wing for this helmet, so the normal winged version will look unfinished. The shapes are included for GP4.

Back to another MDM Designs helmet, it's not entirely clear to me if he's going to run this lid for the rest of the season or not. Anyway, with it being blue, he's much more distinguishable from Hamilton's car. The helmet is still his standard 2022 design, although the 63 logo has changed. Sadly for Russell, two special helmets, and two disappointing Grand Prix making two uncharacteristic mistakes. 

Sebastian Vettel

Sebastian Vettel 2022 Azerbaijan GP helmet

Vettel has tended to run his special helmets on Friday's now, opting to stay fairly consistent (for him at least) on the helmet's he's using for the race. In practice he ran a Fridays' For Future based helmet which contains various protest slogans. At the race, he ran his standard helmet with this MNP peace logo on it. 

As I said above, Vettel's Happy Birthday helmet which he ran in the race at the British Grand Prix is still in my workshop. Until it's complete, I can present to you his Austrian GP lid.

Seb ran the bee logo at last year's Austrian GP, so that saved me some time in putting this one together. Although the lines kind of look straight from side on, it looks circular from the front and back. So it wasn't quite so straight forward and took a bit of time to get that right. 

I notice that Theofilos has released an excellent version here: https://www.racedepartment.com - but being a lover of black and yellow designs, I had to create my own version. 

Lando Norris

Lando Norris 2022 British GP helmet

Lando appear at his home race with a neon effect helmet, with his usual design in a textured chrome. I enjoyed trying to recreate the chrome effect, that was a new skill learned on my part. 

Charles Leclerc

Sorry, no previews for this one, because Charles Leclerc has returned to his pre-season helmet for the British GP as well as using it for the Austrian GPs sprint race. He ran a clear wing during pre-season, so I've done a proper winged version with a slightly different No War logo from the GPDA. 

I've included a config file where drivers have run previous 'special helmets' at subsequent races, so that's been updated to Austria. 

I hope you enjoy this update. I continue to be indebted to Jvinu's helmet shapes and templates. As always, the helmets are free to be converted to other ACSPRH compatible games, just include me in the credits.
