Special helmets for Lando Norris and George Russell at Silverstone
The two Brits unveiled their special helmets on the occasion of their home Grand Prix.
Lando Norris wanted to thank the workers of the NHS (National Health Service), the British health system. On his special helmet for the British Grand Prix, the Briton altered his usual design, opting for a white helmet that incorporates dozens of thank you messages from his fans, intended for NHS members for their efforts during the health crisis.
At the end of the weekend, the McLaren driver will draw lots for the helmet to support a charity that provides mental health support to frontline workers, as he specified on Twitter.
Thank you to everyone who sent messages. I will hold a draw to support Frontline UK at the end of the weekend.
From us, to you: Thanks Key Workers ❤️ pic.twitter.com/28k9aobZwP
