The Australian chose the Croatian teenagers design from thousands of entries and last weekend got the chance to meet the girl behind the design.
“When I made the competition to design my helmet, I was surprised how many entries I got. Out of the thousands of designs, straight away the design from the young Croatian girl got attracted me,” said Webber, who finished the race in 11th place.
On Friday Webber gifted Suboticanec an edition of the helmet she designed and Zlatka gave Webber a caricature drawing of himself in return, reported daily newspaper Vecernji list.
