Lando Norris to wear adorable race helmet designed by 6-year-old fan at British Grand Prix

McLaren F1 star Lando Norris has taken advantage of the revised rule for the 2020 F1 season that allows drivers to make more sizeable changes across the course of the season. F1 drivers were previously prevented from making any more than two sizeable changes to their designs each season, but that rule was lifted for this year. Lando Norris' helmet will feature a sizeable change ahead of the British Grand Prix, one that is designed by a six-year-old named Eva Muttram.

With F1 rules relaxed for helmet designs, McLaren star Lando Norris said in March that he was hoping to have a different helmet livery for every race, and confirmed on his Twitch stream he's looking to run more fan-made designs through the rest of the season. The 20-year-old has just produced a lifelong fan of F1, by choosing a Lando Norris helmet design made by a six-year-old named Eva Muttram.

According to Motorsport, the Lando Norris helmet design made by Eva Muttram was submitted by his father and will make an appearance during the weekend's British Grand Prix.  The McLaren star announced the Lando Norris helmet design winner on social media on Thursday and thanked Eva Muttram for her work. Norris said that the helmet design reminds him of his younger days when he used to "scribble away and make some cool things". The McLaren star thanked everyone who participated in making the Lando Norris British GP helmet and hoped that they can collaborate in the future.
