The story

Prepared specially for his first practice session with Alpine, at the Japanese Grand Prix, the helmet was designed by his daughter, who drew it together with him: Japan-related artwork and his name on the back, "Alpine" written in Japanese on the side, and drawings of a helmet and a chequered flag.
