Motorsport image A Ferrari driver enthusiast has created a helmet design that blends the iconic look of a Mandalorian helmet from Star Wars with Lewis Hamilton's Scuderia Ferrari colours and branding. The fan-made helmet design has been well-received, with the seven-time champion liking posts of it on social media. The helmet features the recognisable shape of a Mandalorian helmet, paired with Hamilton's traditional yellow colouring and red pinstriping.

Sponsor logos, race hardware, and a glowing red hue from LEDs placed behind a Richard Mille sponsorship logo adorn the visor. The design also includes a T-shaped visor, pronounced cheek plates, and a rangefinder attachment. Two detachable silver canisters on the cheek provide additional detail, along with exposed braided hoses running along the painted surface.

The driver's #44 race number sits on the rear aerodynamic piece, and seven stars on either side signify Hamilton's seven championship wins since 2007. Hamilton, a fan of Star Wars, has even attended events related to the movies, such as the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.
