Formula 1 helmets might be one of the coolest things ever! The skill that goes into designing and manufacturing these exceptional helmets is truly amazing. Formula 1 drivers also customize their helmets according to the venue of the race or share a message and spread awareness.

As we move to Miami this week, a handful of Formula 1 drivers have decided to ditch their regular headgear for something a little more eye-catching. Moreover, the helmet designers have sprinkled their creativity all over the helmet. The theme, of course, is Miami’s stunning backdrop and some references to the country.

Lando Norris, however, has taken one step further than the rest. His helmet is designed like an actual basketball. Yes, you read it right. The Briton this weekend has chosen to race with a basketball-like helmet and the details in the design are quite extraordinary. He has certainly embraced the occasion, without a doubt.

We certainly love it, and so did the fans, who took to twitter to express their views. Michael Jordan slam dunking Lando’s helmet is a sight we did not expect to see this week. The Mercedes official twitter handle has clearly upped their social media game, without a doubt.

Alpine joined in on the fun as well.

Other F1 drivers’ creative helmet

Max Verstappen has unveiled a fresh design to his helmet, and it is magnificent! The Red Bull driver’s helmet perfectly captures the essence of Miami. The design includes palm trees across the gear, and Verstappen himself revealed it was one of his favorites.

Meanwhile, Guanyu Zhou has taken the Space jam route. The popular animated sports film which features Michael Jordan is Zhou’s theme for this week. And it is absolutely stunning.
