Driver’s change their helmets so much these days but the Monaco Grand Prix is a great excuse to sport a special design. Alonso, Vettel, Grosjean, Raikkonen and Vergne all have one-off designs for F1′s most famous race.
From sequins to tributes, click below for some pictures of these new designs.
Sebastian Vettel
No surprise that Sebastian Vettel has a new design. His catches the glitz and glamour of Monaco with sequins.
Fernando Alonso
Fernando Alonso has a special gold helmet, similar to the one he used in 2010. It features a roulette wheel with his stats on as well as a picture of a classic Ferrari on top.
