It's Daniil Kvyat's home-race this weekend at the Russian Grand Prix, and the Russian driver wanted to wear a special helmet design for the race but wasn't allowed due after already wearing a new helmet design for the Italian Grand Prix.
Daniel Ricciardo tried to encourage the Toro Rosso man to wear it anyway, considering he already has grid penalties, due to new parts being fitted this weekend by Honda.
"Everyone looks at Seb (Vettel) because he has a new one every race and nobody seems to tell him," Ricciardo joked about Vettel's excessive use of different helmets.
"It's pretty stupid. They brought the rule in, I think they were strict on it for the first year, and then you never heard anything else about it. We all encouraged Danny to just wear it. He's got grid penalties anyway, so what else can happen?"
