Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas is putting his 2018 helmet design up for grabs, giving a chance to a lucky and inventive fan to create his new lid.

Mercedes and Bottas announced the initiative on Twitter, saying the winning entry will be hand-picked by the Finn and will be his primary helmet design for the upcoming season.

But wait, there's more! The winner will also be given a replica of the helmet, signed by Bottas.
