Max Verstappen unveils radical new F1 helmet design

As F1 heads towards the races that traditionally attract droves of Max Verstappen fans, the Red Bull driver has shared a fresh crash helmet design he will sport for much of the summer. The four-time F1 drivers' champion will don a navy and orange helmet for the grands prix in Austria, Belgium and The Netherlands. Those three rounds represent his team's home race, the country of his birth, and his nationality. He will race with his usual Dutch tricolour design for the rounds in the United Kingdom and Hungary. The lion design that normally adorns the top of his helmet remains, and the navy will be a closer match to the livery of his RB21. Verstappen heads into the round at the Red Bull Ring trailing championship leader Oscar Piastri by 43 points. He is 21 points adrift of Lando Norris in the other McLaren. The Dutchman has 11 of 12 allowed penalty points on his FIA super licence, meaning he must navigate the round in Spielberg without incident or risk a one round ban. The threat of suspension will lessen immediately after the trip to the Styrian hills, when two points are expunged from his record. Check out Max Verstappen's brand new helmet below!
