Max Verstappen, the driver of the Red Bull Racing RB19 from the Netherlands, is celebrating his pole position in the Formula 1 World Championship. During the 2024 season, Verstappen will sport a unique orange helmet in honor of his fans at various European races. The debut of this special helmet will take place at the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on June 21-23. He will also make appearances at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, Monza in Italy, and Zandvoort in the Netherlands. Verstappen’s immense popularity has gained him a loyal group of orange-clad fans who travel throughout Europe to cheer him on. The predominantly orange helmet serves as a gesture of gratitude to these dedicated fans. Verstappen expressed his feelings on his official website, stating that the helmet holds great significance for him due to its color and serves as a tribute to the unwavering support he receives. The helmet’s design features intricate details, including the representation of fans in the background, and is intentionally vibrant to ensure visibility. Verstappen hopes that his supporters appreciate the design and even suggests that they may have the opportunity to be featured on the helmet in the future. In contrast to the trend of frequent helmet design changes among drivers, Verstappen has chosen to maintain a consistent theme throughout the season. This orange design follows his previous blue helmet, which he wore during the race in Miami and will continue to use in the other two Formula 1 stages in the United States, in Austin, Texas, and Las Vegas.
