The British driver shared some further photos of the helmet with the caption, "Man vs. Machine". The chrome finish looks as though it is accompanied with a stripe down the middle with the Mercedes logo on top.  

Another fan commented asking Hamilton to keep the light on whilst driving, although it is pretty safe to safe that won't happen, which is a shame because it looks incredible. 

"Keep the light on it during the race so u can blind everyone and get the win"

Hamilton is not the only driver to choose to bring a special helmet design to the iconic Suzuka circuit with other designs coming from two-time champion Fernando Alonso, current championship leader Max Verstappen, and Alpine driver Esteban Ocon.
