Beyond the theme of this lid being bang on the money, this piece of art from Jens Munser Designs is among the most beautiful in Austin this year. With his beard and long hair, the four-time world champion certainly has the look that recalls the days of peace and love. And there's perhaps no greater line from the movie to sum up both Ricciardo and Bobby than "I wanna go fast," which is printed proudly across the back of the helmet. What's special about this design is that it has an incredibly personal touch, on top of being inspired by the location of this weekend's race. Leclerc and the rest of the F1 grid can consider themselves lucky that their star power ensures they'll never have to wait in the hourslong line at Franklin's when they come to town. Those features are accented by the stars that periodically appear within those painted bands of asphalt, and also happen to represent the 2021 and 2022 titles the 25-year-old Dutch driver has claimed. There is a long, long history of racers coming to the U.S. Ask any driver on the grid, and COTA will inevitably land high up the order of their favorite races, but you don't need to take their word for it. Not only is Austin home to some of the best crowds of the season, it boasts a cuisine and certain culture that resonates with the drivers, engineers and most everyone who make up this traveling circus.
