Verstappen goes orange once again with special helmet for Red Bull's home race

The four-time world champion is set to return to his orange helmet for Red Bull Racing's home Grand Prix, he revealed on social media.

"Back in orange. Looking forward to next week," the Dutchman wrote. Together with that, Verstappen will also have a special Orange Lion Driver cap ready as well for the Austrian Grand Prix. See the images below!

After the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, where Verstappen finished fourth but was never in contention for a podium finish, Red Bull Racing CEO and team principal Laurent Mekies explained that he expected a reality check. He told, among others, GPblog: "I think we were expecting a reality check in Barcelona. First track with a long straight, the medium-speed, high-speed corners, it's probably the first time after China and Japan where we come back to this sort of track. So we are expecting certainly a different performance compared to Monaco, where we could certainly fight for pole position.

He also confirmed that a new update is coming for the team, which also concerns the RB22's weight. "In Austria, hopefully we'll get lighter there. The plan is to get the car to eat a little bit less there, and to get on a bit of a diet," the Frenchman concluded with a smile.
