Las Vegas has inspired some of the boldest helmet designs of the season, with drivers unveiling their one-off creations for race week. From playful tributes to full neon flair, every helmet tells its own story, so let’s take a look at some of the headgear on show…
Oscar’s nod to his RC days
Oscar Piastri brings his own twist to the Las Vegas helmet trend with a design inspired by his earliest racing memories, paying tribute to the remote control car that earned him a national title in 2010.
It was the first thing he ever drove – the small but significant stepping stone that led him into karting and eventually paved his path to Formula 1.
The bold helmet mirrors the colours and details of that original RC livery, making it a nostalgic and personal tribute to where his journey began. So, why debut it in Vegas? Piastri pointed out that this week marks exactly 15 years since that fated national title, making this weekend a fitting race to celebrate the very start of his motorsport success as he continues to fight for the title.
