Special helmets are par for the course in Formula 1.
But at this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix, Lando Norris is doing something truly special.
Norris unveiled his helmet for the weekend on social media, in partnership with Race Against Dementia. The charity was founded by none other than Sir Jackie Stewart, to raise awareness about the condition following his partner Helen’s diagnosis with dementia.
As described by Norris, “the design is in two halves. One side shows a healthy brain and the other side shows a brain affected by synaptic loss:”
As Norris also noted on social media, “55 million people worldwide are currently living with dementia, and every few seconds, the same time it takes do do a pit stop in Formula 1, another person is diagnosed.”
F1 fans, or those wanting to help Race Against Dementia, can pick up helmets and even mini helmets at Norris’ online store, with all proceeds going directly to the charity.
