It’s a crypto helmet. @danielricciardo how much they paying you? I can pay you more.
This is either a Sebastian Vettel tribute helmet or a tribute to one of his own helmets back in the day. That’s what it looks like to me.

Thank you, Daniel! For two years with McLaren and many special moments in F1. That's a great helmet to compete in for the last time. 🙂🧡
The Honey Badger may be stepping away from the grid, however, he isn’t ready to bid the F1 world adieu just yet. Taking a back seat in the upcoming year by possibly taking up a role of a third driver, the Aussie is hoping to find his way back to the track in a few years. Hoping to return stronger and better, Daniel Ricciardo is here to stay or so the fans continue to hope.
