Fernando Alonso left the sport in 2018 but left some hints regarding a potential comeback. And the two-time world champion makes a comeback with Alpine this season. After a difficult start to life on his return to F1, the Spaniard has finally found his feet in the sport.

However, Fernando Alonso on his return has started an interesting activity by swapping helmets with other drivers on the grid. Although Helmet swapping is not a new tradition in F1; the Spaniard has been on it at full swing this season.

The Alpine driver has previously swapped helmets with the likes of Sebastian Vettel, George Russell, Nicholas Latifi, and Nikita Mazepin. And the new drivers to add to this list are Lando Norris and Antonio Giovinazzi.

The Spaniard inscribed on the helmet he gave to the British driver: “You are a star, a rock star !! best of luck for the future, Lando”. An appreciated and deserved gift for Lando Norris after a sensational performance at Red Bull Ring and securing the fourth podium of his career.
