Haas driver Romain Grosjean has unveiled his special home race helmet for next weekend's French Grand Prix.
Formula 1 returns to France for the first time in a decade after the former French GP, held at Magny-Cours, was axed after the 2008 season.
The Circuit Paul Ricard will host next week's race and it will be the first time Grosjean has raced in front of his home crowd in F1 machinery, having made his debut with Renault in 2009 at the European GP held at Valencia.
Although Grosjean was actually born in Switzerland, he races under a French licence and holds dual Franco-Swiss nationality.
His helmet, which he revealed on Instagram, is predominantly made up of the French flag and features a cartoon version of himself on the back with the words 'Castellet 2018' – which is where the Paul Ricard circuit is located.
Under FIA rules, drivers must race with the same helmet throughout the entire season – although small changes are allowed – with the exception of a single one-off design for special events, such as a home race or the Monaco GP.
