Thats not Heidi Berger, is it?
Edit; Never mind. She is the winner of a design competition:
Designed by local Naarm artist Rosie Pettenon who won an Optus competition to design the helmet. The helmet will be auctioned off and money raised will be provided to Save the Children Australia for kids in need.

We are in a way so Lucky that Perez and Max are difficult to get mixed up during the race. Because if we had to rely in the helmets.... what a mess!!

Lovely gesture, but the fact mashing up Bianchi’s messy helmet design with LeClerc’s messy helmet design results in a messy helmet design is pretty damning on trends for the last couple of decades.

I can absolutely see Albon's giving me a startle at some point during the weekend with those eyes on top.

As a Chinese , I think it looks quite ugly and un-matching when his design uses Simplified Chinese Character "6" (陆) , to mix with Traditional Chinese Character "3" (叁).
Put it in a Western way , it looks as strange as he paints his number as "6-III"

Not that it matters, but what would it have to be then to get 63?

Either in full Simplified Chinese (using in mainland China and Chinese in South-East Asia) "陆三" ,
or in full Traditional Chinese Character (using in Taiwan and Hong Kong) "陸叁"
But actually 99% of Chinese in modern era would use the common (short) form of "六三"

After your post I tried the Google translate and it gave "六三" for both traditional and simplified.

Apart from the swooshes, I like it. Ditching the yellow sun of Red Bull does wonders on any helmet.
