Lewis Hamilton's gold chrome helmet has wowed fans at Singapore
Lewis Hamilton arrived at the Marina Bay Street Circuit for the Singapore Grand Prix with a special gold chrome helmet design, which quickly caught the attention of fans.
With the helmet shining under the lights of the street circuit, fans took to social media. "There are sparkles in it too. Looked super cool under the lights in FP2," one fan commented on Reddit, while another added, "Reminds me of the banger helmet Seb used to wear in Singapore."
Another fan wrote: "That helmet is pretty much perfect with the suit."
"If Ferrari ever win a season again they should incorporate gold into the livery because that helmet looks so good combined with the car," another commenter added.

"Holy s**t, I love this so much. I would buy a mini of this," wrote another Reddit user.
"Giving me Daft Punk vibes," added 'MrCelroy'.
'Misfit_Cookie_423' posted: "I feel like he’s worn this before? I love it and love seeing it again. Or maybe was it a sparkly but in different colours? I know it wasn't too long ago. I love the sparkles but ever since Nico talked about how he dropped all kinds of things from the weight of his car in 2016, including the metallic paint in his helmets, it makes me wonder about special liveries.
"Glitter is little tiny bits of stuff that adds up when speed counts! But it sizzles under the light!"

Lewis Hamilton set for P6 start in Singapore
Hamilton qualified sixth for the Singapore Grand Prix ahead of his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc in seventh.
"The car's been feeling good generally most of the weekend," the Ferrari driver explained to the media after qualifying. "Q1, the car was feeling good, tyres were feeling good. And then when we get into the next sessions, Q2 run 1 was fairly decent.
"But we are the last in the queue often and then waiting in the queue and losing a lot of temperature in the tyres. And every time we do that, we're falling further and further back. It happens every weekend."
