Verstappen makes announcement: 'Also this year'

Max Verstappen starts the new season this coming weekend. As reigning world champion, all eyes are on him in 2022. However, the Dutchman does not seem to be worried about this at all, as he has arranged all aspects very well.

Although Verstappen has set all his sights on racing, he is also making sure that he looks like a top athlete on the track and that he meets his fans. The simple world champion let it be known in conversation with Verstappen.com that he intends to come up with several special helmet designs for next season as well.

Verstappen is working with a childhood friend for this purpose. "That has worked out very well for me: I don't have to give much input, because he immediately chooses catchy designs and colors that suit a Grand Prix," Verstappen explains in the interview. "Also this year we have a few special helmet designs coming up."
