Sebastian Vettel has forever been a sweetheart. Beginning with his early days with Red Bull to his tormenting year with Ferrari, the German always displayed absolute class. Well, Turkey was kind to him last Sunday as it was well over a decade ago.

Sebastian Vettel had a wonderful race on Sunday. While many leaders spun around the wet tarmac of Istanbul Park, Vettel glided through. Although he has been spinning on dry circuits this year, he kept steady in Turkey.

Besides his magnificent race on Sunday, the only element stealing some limelight from Lewis was Vettel’s helmet. We have witnessed artistic graffiti on helmets before. However, Seb’s helmet for Turkey sported a soulful message.

The rainbow that runs over the top stands for a lot of things. The color scheme goes from white to black. We have also a couple of people around the bottom of the helmet, which is showing that we are all one, but we are all different,explained Vettel.
