1:4 Retro helmet 2023

For Max Verstappen, his personal helmet designs have always been very important, from his first steps in karting to the present day. The two-time Formula 1 world champion has now revealed a new 'retro' helmet.

Max says: “This helmet reveal is maybe a bit unexpected. But I have been working on this helmet design for a couple of months to try to make it perfect. As you can see, it’s a bit more retro style. Referring to when I was growing up watching my dad race and when I started go-karting myself.”

“We are of course familiar with the overall design and the colours, but the front end has seen some changes, where the lines of the V are closer together compared to before. I think it looks a lot better, the helmet design takes me back to when I was growing up with racing, but with a new style V-shape”, explains Max.

“For me it was really important to try and put that back into my helmet. It took a few months to draw and I am very proud of the end result. For me, a helmet is always very personal to a driver. There is nothing better than driving around with your own design. I am very happy with this new ‘retro’ helmet, and I hope you will like it as well!”
