Lewis Hamilton designs his own racing helmets these days.

Lewis Hamilton revealed that most of his racing helmets were designed by him. The Briton also spoke about his plans to bring back his iconic yellow helmet.

Hamilton can be seen answering rapid-fire questions in a social media video posted by Petronas Motorsport. One of the questions asked was about his racing helmet and the associated design process.

No stranger to the world of design and collaboration, Hamilton said:

“The basis for this is my original design and the color is my idea.”

When asked about an encore for the legendary yellow helmet he used to wear, the Mercedes driver simply said “No”.

As a child, Hamilton initially wore a yellow helmet so that his father, Anthony Hamilton, could recognize him from a distance when racing.

The yellow helmet has also been linked to his admiration for Brazilian Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna. As a child, Hamilton watched Senna win 41 races and three drivers’ championships wearing the same yellow helmet.
