It does not seem that Aston Martin will offer great novelties in the AMR-25 of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll for the urban circuit of Jeddah. “We have to be careful. There are more financial limitations and also of resources since there is a great change of rules,” said Mike Krack, one of the main figures in the British structure. They will appear, but when there is security in them. At least, the Asturian will have a symbolic revolution in Saudi Arabia.
Alonso, who is already in Arab territory, presented the new helmet design to the appointment. It was a contest launched by Aramco, the main sponsor of Aston Martin. The Asturian will change for the second time, after the Chinese Grand Prix, the design and a groundbreaking color will arrive: the green.
He maintains her hallmarks, but the winning Saudi artist adds other tones to the Alonso helmet. The green at the top, waves of different blue in the central part and maintains a habitual yellow in the lower part. It will leave its usual main colors and also the white option he showed in Shanghai.
Despite having a very marked identity in their helmets, Fernando Alonso is also one of the pilots who has played the most with their helmets. From that silver revolution when he premiered with McLaren, the redesign with whom he competed his last stage in F1 and landed in the Indy500 or the Dakar, even the pink in Alpine given a main sponsor of the French team -BWT-.
In sports, Alonso will try to break the bad streak of results in a circuit that should not come at all evil. The secrets will be in the fast curves and the proximity to the walls, something that makes a clear secret to pay in Jeddah. The new helmet can give it luck.
