The Brazilian Grand Prix is a special race for many drivers. Lewis Hamilton has a special helmet this weekend in honour of his hero Ayrton Senna. Also Max Verstappen seems to drive with a special edition in Sao Paulo.

The helmet is based on typical Brazilian characteristics. Of course the orange lion can not be missing on the helmet of the Dutchman, but this weekend the lion has the green and yellow colors of Brazil, where Verstappen's in-laws are from. Pictures of the helmet can be seen on Twitter.

Battle with Mercedes

This weekend Verstappen will try to increase his lead in the championship. The gap to Hamilton is nineteen points. Red Bull Racing is just one point behind Mercedes in the Constructors' Championship.
