Summary
Thomas and Guy-Manuel wear helmets, which is to say they put on masks. For lots of different reasons: shyness, the desire for anonymity, the belief in artistic merit over the cult of personality, the potential of elevating performance.
Thomas does it because he wants to be someone else. Guy-Manuel does it because he doesn’t want to be himself. They sound like the same thing, but they’re really not.
Put another way: there’s a reason Thomas’s helmet has a face, and Guy-Manuel’s doesn’t.
