Leclerc and Stroll both have really good designs this weekend. Great job by their respective artists!

Agreed. I like Leclerc’s one.
For some reason I like Stroll’s as well, although I can’t really formulate why. Maybe because it is far from common, the leather texture is a nice job, and it is a bit Aston-ish as well, despite all of these, it it is not overdone.
As a third one I would pick Zhou’s helmet :)

Ocon’s Spiderman-themed design is my outright favorite.

Each one more hideous than the last, until Logan’s, which is truly an abomination.
