F1 driver Zhou Guanyu might have taken the lead in this season’s themed helmet contest

Theme helmets are not new to the world of Formula 1.

Over the years drivers have paid tribute to local customs, personal projects, causes that matter to them, and many more items of inspiration.

Ahead of this week’s Singapore Grand Prix, Zhou unveiled his theme helmet for the race. The Marina Bay Sands is featured on the back, the iconic structure comprised of three towers — inspired by decks of cards — with the Sands SkyPark on the top. What looks like a cruise ship is actually a three-acre with pools, jogging paths, and parks, resting on top of the three towers:

His cat:

Put it all together, and you have one of the best designs of the season:
