Fernando Alonso has become the latest Formula 1 driver to show off his 2018 helmet design in preparation for the McLaren team launch this week.
The two-time F1 world champion has spent the past week teasing snippets of his new helmet design on social media and following the likes of the Haas, Red Bull, Alfa Romeo Sauber and Renault drivers the Spanish driver has officially revealed his new colour scheme.
Alonso is expected to use the new predominately blue design for both his F1 and World Endurance Championship campaigns having secured a deal to race for McLaren and Toyota in the respective series.
Last year Alonso used a one-off special edition helmet design for his debut at the Indianapolis 500 with McLaren-Honda-Andretti before reverting back to his 2017 F1 helmet design for the rest of the year.
McLaren pulls the covers off its 2018 F1 car, the MCL33, this Friday in an online launch to kick-start its new power unit partnership with Renault after splitting from Honda after three disastrous seasons.
The Woking-based squad has been running a series of teaser videos of its 2018 F1 livery with a speculated shake-up in orange and white colour scheme.
Hola 2018.
