“Of course, its different yellow and design than what we had last year. As you can see there is a lot more blue in it. So I think its bit of refreshment from what we had so far, and of course the names of all the corners on the helmet, which I think is a very nice touch.”

“But of course that’s not the only thing you can get. Because we have the mini ones, like always. I think this one again, super nice. And of course, the other one, little bit bigger, just as big as my head, but both of them are available at Verstappen.com,” he concluded.
Is Max set to win the Styrian Grand Prix?
The Dutch driver won the previous round at Paul Ricard, managing to steal the lead from his rival, Lewis Hamilton in the closing laps of the race and bring home twenty-five points for the Milton-Keynes-based outfit.
Hence, Verstappen is looking confident as he prepares himself for the team’s home race at Red Bull Ring. He hopes to have another win under his belt and further extend his lead in the championship.
