Red Bull's Max Verstappen has unveiled his 2022 helmet design which reflects his new gold status as Formula 1's reigning World Champion.
The Dutchman conquered his first world title in dramatic fashion in Abu Dhabi last month, with the circumstances that led to the famous one-lap shootout between himself and arch-rival Lewis Hamilton still heatedly debated.
Since 2014, F1 drivers have had to choose a personal race number before starting their first Grand Prix and carry that number for the duration of their career at the pinnacle of motorsport.
Verstappen has raced since his debut in the sport in 2015 with his signature number '33', but F1's sporting rules allow the past year's champion to carry #1 on his car during the season that follows a winning campaign.
While Hamilton has always rejected swapping his trademark "44" for number "1", Verstappen has opted to race this year with the latter, calling it "the best number in the world".
And the single digit has also been emblazoned on the 24-year-old's new white and gold helmet livery which he showcased to his fans in a video released on YouTube.
