Stilo helmet worn by Valtteri Bottas during the 2021 Mexican GP race where put his Mercedes W12 on pole as well as setting a new track record race lap. This particular model, a ST5-VB, was built to his specific specs and the graphics were designed by his girlfriend, Tiffany Cromwell. The design incorporates a winter theme with snow flakes on the crown, finished with a ribbon of the Finnish flag and #77. The rest of the helmet has a snow squall effect with his VB logo integrated into it and with his #77 featuring on the sides with a howling wolf head on the back. The helmet is finished off with a dark blue lining inside with Finnish flags on either side of the eye port foam. It still has the drink tube and visors tear-offs attached, just as it was when last used in the race at Mexico. The helmet shows great race wear with stone chips and bits of rubber/debris splattered across it. It comes directly from Bottas, right after the Mexico race, and is signed by him in black marker pen.

His best season came in 2019 when he won four races and scored five poles, with 15 podium finishes in 21 races. Bottas recently announced that he will move to Alfa Romeo for the 2022 season.
