Helmet
Ahead of his promotion as Alpine’s official Formula 1 reserve driver, we caught up with the 2021 Formula 2 champion, Oscar Piastri, who took us on a tour of his helmet design and discussed the story behind it.
“My first helmet was an off-the-shelf HJC, I think,” Piastri began. “It was a red, black and gray vinyl design. I had that when I first started and then a white helmet for about two years.
“After that, I was planning on getting a painted helmet, but I had a karting accident where I overturned and destroyed my white helmet, so I need a new helmet for next weekend.
“Lucky Design sent a bunch of pre-painted designs to Australia and I picked one I liked, which was blue and red. That was my first design, and so my helmet is now blue and red.
