The Asturian driver will face in 2022 his second consecutive season in Formula 1 since he returned in 2021 at the hands of Alpine, a team for which he will compete again this season.
If the presentation of the new cars is always a very special moment for the teams, for the drivers it could be said that the moment of revealing the helmet with which they will compete throughout the course is similar, with few exceptions or modifications.
During the day on Tuesday, February 22, Fernando Alonso presented his new helmet. Of course, unlike other drivers on the grid, he did it without much of a show, since he simply posted two vertical images on his social networks (in Instagram stories, which expire after 24 hours) shortly before going out on the track for the first time. time behind the wheel of the Alpine A522.
