After a couple of prolonged breaks, the Grand Prix are coming thick and fast and I'm trying to keep up with the various helmet designs. I'm releasing a batch of helmets now, knowing I have a few to go, but I hope you enjoy these ones.

I like Fernando's simple but effective helmets. This one has a relatively simple design, but the curves are not too easy to replicate with where the seams are on the mapping. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the result of this, the helmet combining some of the traditional colours of Nando's helmets along with the BWT branding.

A return to Punk Paradise, having run a similar design at the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP, though it was glittery red then. Thankfully I could recycle some of that helmet on this year's gold edition. A reasonably strong weekend for Charles in this lid.

As we no longer have a Malaysian GP, Singapore is now the closest to Petronas HQ. George ran a Petronas coloured version of his helmet, as they announced an extension of the Petronas and Mercedes partnership. Sadly, it was a bit of a forgetful weekend for the young Brit.
Sebastian Vettel

Vettel ran this helmet, the black is meant to absorb 99% of light, making the rainbow stand out even more. The helmet is a blended gradient which could have been an issue on the seams, but thankfully I got it to match pretty well.
Alex Albon

Last, but not least, we have Albon's helmet designed by kids from a Thai orphanage. I believe this helmet will get auctioned after the race to raise money. The helmet features various cartoons of the kids from the orphange at the top, the Buddist elephant on the sides, and a huge smile at the front. Albon is pictured at the back, with the boy on the left sporting a Liverpool FC top, my home town. It was remarkable that Albon made it back to the cockpit for this race, sadly it wasn't his best showing, although it was still miles better than Goatifi. I enjoyed recreating this one.
These are made to fit Jvinu's helmets, utilising his templates for which I'm am ever grateful, and of course these helmets are compatible whereever ACSPRH helmets have been made.
