Angry Birds join Formula 1 this Sunday on Heikki Kovalainen's lid - images

Heikki Kovalainen, the Finish F1 driver, will wear a special Angry Birds helmet in the first race of the 2012 F1 season this Sunday in Australia.

This will further extent the reach of the most downloaded game this century, F1 has the largest global TV audience for a sporting event (Olympics excepted).

This will help promote the new Angry Birds Space game due on March 22nd.

The deal is not with the racing team but with the driver.
