F1 Superstar Daniel Ricciardo Honors Kobe Bryant With Dope Helmet Design
F1 Superstar Daniel Ricciardo Honors Kobe With Helmet Design ... 'Mamba Mentality'
Australian F1 superstar Daniel Ricciardo is paying tribute to the late Kobe Bryant with his helmet as the new season kicks off ... showing off a design that would be Mamba-approved.
Ricciardo showed up for the opening of the Formula One preseason with an all-purple helmet ... and later on in the morning, had the design added to complete the NBA legend-inspired look.
The helmet has "KB8" and "KB24" below the visor ... as well as a snake and the words "Mamba Mentality" on top.
Ricciardo is a big NBA supporter and lives in L.A. ... so we take it he was a big fan of Kobe.
The helmet will be used throughout the preseason ... and Ricciardo will reveal a new design in time for the Australian Grand Prix next month.
The Kobe tributes have been pouring in since the tragic accident in January ... from the All-Star Game MVP trophy name change to many Bryant tattoos to players changing their jersey numbers.
#RIP
