The story
Steinmetz paved Hamilton's signature with a line of hundreds of handcrafted diamonds and set its own logo in Forevermark diamonds, the first sponsor logo rendered that way on an F1 helmet; he received it at the McLaren Technology Centre, used it throughout the Monaco weekend and won the race in it.
