Lando Norris has revealed a special edition helmet inspired by his racing he🦩ro, Valentino Rossi, that he will wear for this weekend's Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

McꦫLaren Formula 1 driver Norris grew up idolising MotoGP legend Rossi, and enjoyed a first meeting with the nine-time world champion during the Silverstone MotoGP round last month.

Norris revealed a special helmet design he will wear for this weekend's raceꦉ at Monza in Rossi's homeland, featuring vibrant yellow and blue colours, and the same fon💜t used by Rossi for his name and number. Norris will also style his race boots in the same design.

When in Italy, wear something a little

"It’s something I’ve always loved, doing my own kit. In karting I used to have different helmets, boots, sticker kits, whatever," Norris explain🍃ed.

"You’re more limited in car racing. But for the races I ca💙n I want to have 🍒special helmets and boots.

"For this one I already spoke to Valentino quite a while ago on social media about trying to sort this, as I have to ask him if I can do it. But it🥀's just an opportunity to make this race more special, something to remember it by.

"That 𓆉was by having more of a connection with Valentino, the guy I’ve always looked up to, my hero, from Italy. So it was more of a dedication to him than anyone else."
