PICTURES: Rossi's new Mugello helmet.

The is the special helmet design with which Valentino Rossi took an amazing seventh consecutive home victory at Mugello on Sunday.

The design features the seven-time world champion's face on the top - looking shocked. When Rossi puts his head down, the face comes into full view, creating a highly amusing sight.

"I have to be honest about my helmet, it was Aldo Drudi's idea this time but I think it's one of the best ever!" said Rossi. "It's not a drawing, it's a real picture of my face at the braking at the end of the straight here and I think it's very funny!"
