Formula 1: Verstappen Goes 'back To Roots' With Helmet Redesign For 2025
World Champions Max Verstappen: As the 2025 Formula 1 season draws closer, four-time World Champion Max Verstappen has revealed a striking new helmet design that takes inspiration from his earliest days in racing. The Red Bull star has chosen to go "back to the roots" with a look that closely mirrors the iconic helmet of his father, former Formula 1 driver Jos Verstappen while incorporating subtle personal touches that make it uniquely his own.
Verstappen’s new helmet is a simplified, stripped-down version of his previous designs, a significant shift from the intricate patterns and bright colour schemes he has sported in recent years. The idea behind the redesign, he explained, was to pay homage to the helmet he wore during his karting days, which was itself modelled after the one his father used throughout his F1 career.
Jos Verstappen, a Dutch racing driver who competed in Formula 1 between 1994 and 2003, raced for teams like Benetton, Simtek, Arrows, and Minardi. Though his time in F1 yielded just two podium finishes, he was widely respected for his aggressive driving style and played a crucial role in developing his son's racing career from an early age.
