Rose of the winds and a skyline from home: Josep María Martí on his 2025 Helmet

16 October 2025

Josep María Martí has had a lot to smile about this year on track and he has been doing with an eye-catching helmet inside the car.

The Campos Racing driver gave us the lowdown on his 2025 design, how the concept first came about and how it has evolved over the years.

“To be honest, it's remained quite similar across the years, I have always kept the same idea for the whole thing. One of the parts I love the most about my helmet are both the top and the back.

“At the top I have the rose of the winds, which is something that has stayed with me since my very first helmet. It's something that my mum brought up when we were thinking about something to put at the top, I wanted to make something singular, something I had not seen in other helmets.

“My mum brought the idea up and I really liked it. We had a design made for it, and we just decided to go for it, to paint it and I have loved it ever since.

“It's always been on the helmet but this year it has been a bit of change because it's always been black and white.

The Spaniard talked about how the design of the rose of the winds came about at the top of his helmet

“The only highlights were a bit of red or a bit of silver, but this year we decided to go with a very colourful option. I think it looks really cool, with the Red Bull colours and the matte, it's quite cool.

“With the Red Bull taking up the sides which is something I am very proud of, it's shadowing the side a bit, which was just an S with the colours of Spain, so the blood red and the neon yellow.

“I still have the colours, it's not as highlighted as it has been on different helmets, but it's still really nice.

“At the back, I have the skyline of Barcelona. It's my city, it's where I am from, it's where I have grown up and for me it's important to keep, stay with your roots, stay with where you're from. I always love going back home and I think including it into my design was something I always wanted to do, so do it this year in this way is really cool.

“Same with the rose of the wind, it's something I have always had on my helmets, but this one in particular it stands out pretty well.

Martí talked about how he chose the colours on his helmet

“Always also a mention for Dilano, always keeping him in mind, he always takes up a space, he was a really good friend, and I am trying to honour him in anyways possible.

“But I have always gone with this sort of colour scheme, but I have added in more white recently, I just feel like it looks quite clean.

“For me the things I take care of mostly are the colours. Red Bull have their own special colours of both the yellow and the red, and the other things have to match. It's a juggle between what colours do I want that fit with the Red Bull scheme, and white fits well with any colour.

“I wanted to add some sort of green at some point on the helmet, but I don't think it would match the helmet. I want to add a bit more silver and white for next year, but I am very happy with my helmet.

“It's a colour scheme I really like. A lot of people tell me it reminds them of Fernando's helmet. I can see how because of the colour scheme but I have made it my own, and grown around it, trying to improve it year in and year out.”
