Oliver Goethe is the latest member of the grid to take us through his 2025 helmet, as the MP Motorsport driver gives us a bit more insight into how his lid was designed.
The German talks us through it all, from the reason behind the colours on his helmet and how they compare to the ones he used in formative racing years.

“First of all, it's a Red Bull helmet, and I think they look the best. It looks really cool with a Red Bull branded logo. Obviously, I am in the academy, so they are my main sponsor, so happy to have them on my helmet.
“Apart from that, the colours I have gone for, apart from the Red Bull colours, I like blue and orange. I am also sponsored by Gulf, and I have been throughout my whole career.
“It's the main gulf colours. I also have some other sponsors, Motorsport Team Germany, another sponsor of mine, so they have a sticker there.
“But this year I've gone for a little design on the back, with my initials OG. I think they are pretty cool initials so I like to put it on the back.
“In other years I have had some designs with animated characters but this year I have gone a bit simpler, just OG.

“This is a Stilo, I've been using Stilo for a few years now, so very happy with it. I've got my name and nationalities, so Danish and German, I've got both flags on the helmet as well.
“I am not the one designing the helmets, although I can of course say what I want and make changes, but it's Red Bull who design the helmet in the end. But to be honest I'm pretty happy with the job they have done.
“I like it like this, it's very similar to the helmet I had last year, so I didn't really go with much change from then. But honestly, I am not too fussed about these kinds of things. I like it like this, and I don't want to overcomplicate it either.
“It's a bit different to my first racing helmet in karts, it was all white and in cars it was just black, so there is some colour on this one.

“It's nice to have a design on this one, because my first helmets I had no design. So, it's definitely a bit more professional and aesthetically pleasing to have a bit more of a design.
“I don't really have a plan for a special helmet, I think that's pretty cool, to have a special helmet for a round, but maybe next year, it will bring some luck.”
