Formula 1 returns to China for the first time since 2019. To mark the occasion, George Russell has decided to wear a helmet in the colors of Chinese tradition.<\/b><\/p>\n
The British driver had started his Formula 1 career at Williams in 2019. However, he had failed to score points at the 1000th Grand Prix in history, finishing 16th.<\/p>\n
Five years later, Russell is driving for Mercedes and is determined, despite the lack of pace, to score important points for the team.<\/p>\n
For his second visit to China, Russell wanted a design referring to Chinese culture with notably Chinese characters, an oriental dragon, a tiger, and a dominant color changing from his usual blue to red.<\/p>\n
He explains in his post that: \u00ab Special edition helmet for China. There are so many details that I wanted to showcase to celebrate my return here in Shanghai. It’s great to run again in China and I wanted to celebrate that with something special, I hope you will like it! Tell me what you think. \u00bb<\/p>\n
