<\/p>\nLewis Hamilton settled in for the start of the Monaco Grand Prix with his helmet specially designed for the race.<\/p>\n
The champion wanted a white helmet with purple reflections, but also with amethyst inserts.<\/p>\n
As you can see below, this helmet was equipped with a white visor.<\/p>\n
The race started in the rain, and the driver needed maximum visibility.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The race was interrupted after Mick Schumacher’s accident. This red flag allowed all drivers to return to the pits to immobilize their cars.<\/p>\n
This is how Lewis Hamilton decided to go back to his traditional helmet for 2022. A fluorescent yellow helmet.<\/p>\n
Indeed, it was equipped with a tinted visor that allows for better vision in the face of the sun.<\/p>\n
If the start of the race took place in the rain, a good half of the event unfolded in dry conditions, with sunny intervals among the many clouds still lingering.<\/p>\n
This heavy and stormy weather creates strong contrasts between shaded areas and highly reflective parts, which disrupts our vision. Especially at such impressive speeds between the rails of the principality’s circuit.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, due to a delayed start caused by an error and various race incidents, the Grand Prix ended at 6:00 PM. At a time when the sun begins to be lower in the sky and tends to blind the drivers even more.<\/p>\n
