So my guess is that he gravitated to this adoration later (yes I know he had the yellow helmet in carting) and uses it to garner attention.
Even if my take is wrong...who is Perez' hero? Ocon? Hulkenberg? Kimi? Anyone know? Likely not since this entire thing is the pandering media always trying to spin Hamilton to the light most favorable. If he admired Senna so much, why not drive for Williams? BTW, Williams is a British team as well, Hammy.

This award was given to him by the Senna family. He is an ambassador to the Senna foundation. I don't think this was driven by the media. You really think his family would award him with one of Senna's race worn helmets just to appease the media??? Common...
When I played hockey, I wore a Mats Sundin jersey, because he was my favourite player. Is that me using something to garner attention? Lighten up francis.
