Lewis Hamilton has confirmed that he has recieved over 8,000 entries for his 2017 helmet design competition. One lucky fans design will be chose and worn by Lewis Hamilton for the new season of Formula One.

The design brief says Hamilton was "on the look out for a dope new layout that evolves my current theme and features the candy apple red in my existing design". Competitors were asked to submit their entry thorugh Instagram, with plenty of hopeful candidates now waiting for the result.

Hamilton took initial inspiration from hero Ayrton Senna, with yellow and green featuring on his helmet. However since his change to Mercedes, it has gone from flashes of gold, yellow and red.

  • I hope he goes for something very different to what he's had in the past

    it´s a shame he is allowed to use Sennas colors or parts of his design in this context.
    they are two F1 drivers but there is (and will ever be) just one legend. End of story.
