In Formula 1, drivers express themselves not only through their performance on track, but also through the designs they carry on their helmets.
For Lando Norris, his helmets have become his signature canvas—playful, bold, and most times, deeply personal. From heartfelt tributes to gaming-inspired designs, each captures a piece of his personality. Over the years, Norris has established himself as not just a rising star in F1, but also as a trendsetter known for some of his most eye-catching helmet designs.
To celebrate his creativity, here is a round-up of Lando Norris’s top 10 most iconic helmet designs, in no particular order.
1. Miami 2025
BasketBALL in 2022, BeachBALL in 2023… DiscoBALL in 2025! Inspired by Miami's famous glitzy and glamorous nightlife scene, Lando’s 2025 Miami Grand Prix helmet featured a dazzling, disco-ball-like finish with mirrored facets that catch the light at every turn.
2. Las Vegas 2023
Channelling the edgy energy that Las Vegas offers, this helmet for the 2023 Grand Prix showcased several bold snakes intertwined and slithering across the shell, melding menacing texture with show-stopping aesthetics. Several fans noted the helmet for its daring flair, which made it an instantly memorable helmet design.
3. Hungary 2024
In a touching celebration of Hungarian artistry, Lando swapped his usual design for one inspired by Herend Porcelain's beautifully hand-painted motifs during the 2024 Hungarian GP. This tribute comes a year after Lando famously broke 2023 winner Max Verstappen’s trophy designed by Porcelain during the podium celebration.
4. Monaco 2024
To pay homage to one of his idols, former McLaren champion Ayrton Senna, Lando donned a helmet which echoed Senna's legendary yellow-and-green design at the prestigious Monaco GP in 2024, whilst still keeping a touch of his signature blobs from his normal race helmet.
5. Singapore 2023
Blending his love for esports with racing, Lando’s Singapore 2023 helmet featured the bold branding of his esports company, Quadrant, and a gaming aesthetic - a ‘tip of the helmet’ to his other passion outside the racetrack.
6. Miami 2023
Pre-dating his 2025 Miami discoball helmet is his beachball helmet for the 2023 Miami Grand Prix. A playful ode to Miami’s beach culture, the brightly coloured beach ball helmet exudes summer vibes and speaks to Lando’s infamous cheeky charm. This light-hearted design stood out against the other special helmets featured that weekend.
7. Singapore 2024
Similar to the previous year, Singapore 2024 saw Lando building on his esports connection, returning to the circuit with a rebranded Quadrant-themed helmet: edgier, more polished, and aligned with a refreshed visual identity following the rebranding.
8. Great Britain 2020
At the 2020 Silverstone Grand Prix, Lando turned heads with a helmet unlike any other he’s had: a playful, crayon-style design created by a six-year-old fan named Eva Muttram. It stood out in contrast to Formula 1’s usual sleekly designed helmets. It perfectly captured Norris’ lighthearted character and the genuine connection he has with his fans.
9. Japan 2025
At the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix, Norris unveiled a standout Quadrant-inspired helmet in black and white, complete with bold manga-style graphics and striking red Japanese lettering. Created in collaboration with Japanese clothing brand Liberty Walk, the helmet carried a sharp streetwear aesthetic that set it apart from the grid, whilst acting as a nod to local culture and his brand. Sleek, stylish, and culturally tuned, it was a design that fans instantly celebrated.
10. Las Vegas 2024
For the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix, Norris flipped the script with an inverted version of his trademark blob helmet. The usual black base was replaced with neon green as the dominant colour, creating a bold, glowing effect that is perfect for the city’s glitzy, neon-soaked backdrop. Striking, simple, and instantly recognisable, it was a clever twist on his classic look.
(Honourable Mention) Pre-Season Testing 2025 – .exe
For the 2025 pre-season testing, Lando debuted his bold “.exe” helmet: matte black, streaked with neon-green circuitry and digital motifs. It tied in neatly with his personal brand, whilst also showcasing a sharper edge to his style, quickly sparking fan buzz as one of his standout designs.
