Max Verstappen chooses a white-red helmet

This is the helmet Max Verstappen will wear in Japan.

In 2024, Max Verstappen raced in Japan with his classic helmet—still white but with red, blue, and yellow elements—while opting for a special design at some European races (including Zandvoort), where he showcased an entirely orange livery.

Suzuka has been a favorable track for the four-time world champion: with the current generation of cars, he has taken pole position and victory every time, even clinching his second title there in 2022. Achieving a fourth consecutive win appears very challenging given Red Bull’s current struggles, but Super Max can never be counted out of the fight.
