George's Helmets
The helmet is a crucial safety feature for a Formula One driver. But it’s also an important way to express themselves in the design and colours they choose – making them stand out from the rest of the grid and be instantly recognisable to the fans. Scroll through some of George's most iconic designs to see how his style has evolved through his years with Mercedes.
It was a new look for George for the start of the 2023 F1 season and his second full campaign with the Team. He opted for a fresh shade of blue and changed up many of the design elements, although the distinct ‘63’ font on the sides remained.
Used for his debut test with our Team in Budapest, George's first Silver Arrows helmet was a take on his red and black GP3 Series design from that season. 19-year-old George got behind the wheel of the W08, which would go on to win the F1 Drivers' and Constructors' Championship that year.
George’s helmet for his Mercedes debut at the Sakhir Grand Prix, where he stood in for an unwell Lewis Hamilton, featured a mainly red and black design with some PETRONAS green accents. He led most of the race wearing the helmet, but some bad luck cost him a chance to win.
He started his first full season as a Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team driver by retaining the red and black colour scheme from his 2020 debut, while also adding some blue lines. He used this helmet for the first half of the year.
George opted to do a mid-season switch from the Austrian Grand Prix onwards, replacing the darker hues for a much lighter blue – with the red and black moving to accent colours only. This was the design he used while driving at the São Paulo Grand Prix when he took his first F1 win.
Embracing the PETRONAS green for the Singapore Grand Prix. This was his special edition helmet at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, with the glittery blue accents really popping underneath the floodlights.
George also had a special edition helmet for the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka, which coincided with a new merchandise range for the event. He switched the light blue for a darker shade and a new pattern, while still keeping some of the same design elements as his standard helmet.

George's Favourite Track
Silverstone
Great Britain
"It wouldn’t matter if I was British or not, all the drivers say the same: there is a special atmosphere at Silverstone that is different to a number of the other grands prix. It has the best crowds of the year and the fans are incredibly passionate. To hear and see the crowd cheering you on is so special and it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. There’s nothing quite like it.
I’ve been fortunate to race there throughout my junior career. My first ever race weekend in BRDC Formula 4 was on the Grand Prix circuit at Silverstone. I remember thinking how great it was that we got to follow in the wheel tracks of some of the incredible F1 drivers that have raced here. I won two of the three races that weekend and I’ve loved it ever since. I also won there in my first weekend in European F3 so it’s perhaps no surprise that it’s my favourite circuit.
The track itself is stunning. It’s so fast and flowing. It challenges you in every sector and driving an F1 car around it is an absolute privilege."
