Verstappen reveals 2021 helmet ahead of Silverstone warm-up

Max Verstappen unveiled his 2021 helmet ahead of getting himself into gear with Red Bull at Silverstone on Wednesday.

The Dutchman's lid features a few design changes but retains its white base introduced in 2019, spiced up with a burst of orange motif.

"2021: My third year with a white helmet," said Verstappen. "Because why change something when it feels good? Just keep pushing to improve.

"Although the helmet hasn’t changed that much, I always expect more."

The 21-year is up and running at Silverstone, warming for the 2021 season a day after Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez enjoyed a track day with his new team at the wheel of a 2019-spec RB15.

Both drivers has an opportunity to sample and shakedown Red Bull's new RB16B. But more about that tomorrow...
