So Lando thought it would be a great idea to put some design symbols of the Flanders on his helmet , to honor his Belgian mother and his Belgian grandparents at the Belgian GP in Francorchamps .
It was regarding the Flemish flag , the yellow background and the black lion on his helmet .
There is also a picture from his Belgian Flemish grandparents on his helmet .
I find Lando's helmet looks great !

Wallon officials in Francorchamps (Wallonia is the French part of Belgium) banned Lando's helmet because Francorchamps is in the French part of Belgium ..
The article => https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20200829_96185639

Officials ! Please give me a break !!! While BLM is OK ..
Where is the fairness ?

Landos banned helmet ...
Madness has taken over some officialdom. I mean Belgium is Belgium whatever the area and his grandparents are indigenous to the country as a whole...and agree that his helmet design is fantastic.
