But he has secured the second spot on the starting grid.

And Hamilton will be confident that he can put this torrid run to an end in Brazil on the very same track where he came back from 10th to grab first place.

Furthermore, the seven-time champion has more of an incentive to win after officially receiving a Brazilian citizenship ahead of the weekend.

Now he has decided to celebrate that by wearing a special helmet this weekend to honor his “second homeland”.

The 37-year-old posed with it earlier this week after it was unveiled.

The helmet has the Brazilian flag donned along the outside of it with the colors of yellow, green and blue dominating it.

Hamilton has become a beloved figure by Brazilian fans throughout his years of dominance in F1.

And he has also spoken numerous times of how much he idolized the late, great Brazil icon Ayrton Senna.

Around 60,000 fans will be in attendance to see whether Hamilton can secure his first victory of the season.
