Andrea Iannone drew inspiration from mythology to tackle the Dutch race weekend. Specifically, he drew on the Twelve Labors of Hercules.

On his social media channels, he explained the meaning behind the scenes depicted on his helmet:

“The Nemean lion symbolizes the courage you need to face what seems impossible to defeat... fear, the burden of judgment, and obstacles that appear insurmountable.”

"The golden apples of the Hesperides represent the success that can be achieved through patience, discipline, and sacrifice. Every achievement is the result of a journey, never a shortcut."

"Cerberus, the guardian of the underworld. Facing him means confronting one’s darkest side and emerging stronger than before. It's the moment when a true challenge is no longer with others but with oneself."
