Max Verstappen has taken inspiration from the colours of the Dutch flag in announcing a tweaked helmet design for his home race at the end of August.

Formula 1 is currently on its summer hiatus but the two-time World Champion has now revealed a one-off helmet design for the race at Zandvoort next weekend.

Having had a unique helmet for his home race last year, Verstappen has done the same again but updated the design this time around.

In a video the Red Bull driver posted on social media announcing the one-off helmet, Verstappen took fans through the one-off colours he will be sporting at his home race, which will undoubtedly be a sea of orange-clad fans at Zandvoort.

He said: “Hi everyone, as you can see Dutch flag probably means something related to Zandvoort, and we are having a new helmet again.

“Pretty Dutch, surprise. So this time we go more with the flag, on the top we have the full flag including the lion logo but then of course on the side, one side is blue, the other side is red, and of course you can see it come together at the back.

“I think it’s a great end result, I hope it will look good on track as well. I hope you do like it as well.”
