“For this year’s helmet I wanted to show love to my beginnings,🌟” Hamilton wrote on Twitter.

Hamilton’s fꦓluorescent yellow helmet matches the colour of his race number on his Mercedes car and is similar to the colouജr scheme used by MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, who is a close friend of Hamilton.  

Hamilton goes into the 2022 season seeking to win a record-breaking eighth drivers’ ti𒅌tle to move clear of Michael Schumacher. 

The 37-year-old Briton was beaten to the 2021 world championship by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in last yearꦆ🦋’s controversial Abu Dhabi finale.
