Diamonds for the Monaco GP

Lewis Hamilton has been crowned F1's 'King of Bling', showing off his new diamond-studded helmet that he will be wearing in Monaco. In the build up to the 2008 Monaco Grand Prix, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and Steinmetz, creators of the world’s finest diamonds, are proud to announce the continuation of their long-running partnership. Lewis was presented with his helmet at the McLaren Technology Center earlier this week whilst Heikki will receive his on Wednesday in Monaco.

The helmets, each with the drivers' signature traced out with hundreds of gems, are the creation of diamond company and McLaren sponsor Steinmetz. The drivers will also receive diamond rings, in Hamilton's case for the second year in a row after he was given one worth $US10,000.

This is the first year that the Steinmetz logo - or any other sponsor’s logo in Formula 1 history, has been added into the design in diamonds. In celebrating Steinmetz’s unprecedented attributes of master craftsmanship and integrity, the Steinmetz logo has been paved using Forevermark diamonds. Forevermark diamonds are the world’s most preciously selected diamonds.

This weekend is the Famous Monaco GP which has been won by Ferrari for the past four consecutive years, Hopefully for McLaren and Lewis Hamilton it will be a different result this year, Even though McLaren have been a little of the pace of Ferrari. I personally cant wait for the race, Its one of the most entertaining races of the season.
