+1. lol You can imagine them designing a new helmet with special vents that he has to pull the hair through, then the chief hairodynamicist adds super extra strength hair spray and shapes the hair into wings lol
Only downside is it now that him 3 hours to put on.

It turned out that the new driver dietary supplement developed at Ferrari had a debilitating side effect. Fernando felt great and even led at one point, but the helmet just wouldn’t stay on and he was forced to retire with only 10 laps remaining. Nonetheless, Alonso and Domenicali knew they had found the pace; it would only be a matter of time.
