Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak caught the eye not only with his three victories this season, including at the Monza Feature Race, but also with the helmet he used throughout the year.
Driving for Campos Racing, the Thai driver made slight changes to his helmet this year, looking to make things look neater while also still representing his home country.
“My 2025 helmet, I kept it pretty similar to my helmet from last year. The design and the colour is basically the same, I just made everything more simple, a simpler look.

“My helmet from last year was a bit too messy, so I kind of made everything simpler, the colours are basically the colours of the Thai flag, blue, white and red.
“I have the Thai flag on top and the Thai number nine on top, which represents, King Rama IX, which is very respected in Thailand.
“In front here, I have a few small designs on the back, which are Thai designs, Thai traditional designs, and I have a few sponsors, my main sponsors, my name on the side here and on the back, obviously giving me great support this year with helmet.
“I really like the Thai flag, on the helmet, which is cool on the helmet, but apart from that I kept it pretty simple. The colours represent Thailand, which is the country I am representing.
“These designs are Thai traditional designs. If you look in the back, I also have a few in blue, which are Thai traditional designs. I wanted to show aspects of Thailand on the helmet, that's how they did it and that's how I like it.

“I let a designer design it, Adrien Paviot. I basically gave him what I wanted, and gave him the Thai designs that I wanted to show on the helmet. I think he did quite a good job, and then Stilo painted it.
“I've kind of kept the design from karting, and in karting you have messy helmets with a lot of designs and stuff. In cars now, it has to be a lot simpler, so people can recognise you and the fans can recognise you. So I wanted something simpler.
“But I still wanted to keep the overall design, to have my own identity on the helmet, and that's what I did this year. I like the matte navy blue on it, I think it works quite well.
“The colours were a lot different in karting. I had orange helmets all the time, bright orange helmets, were the trend all the time, and now I want to represent Thailand a bit more.

“I wanted to represent Thailand a bit more, have the colours of the Thai flag on the helmet especially in Formula 3, being the only Thai driver now, it's super important to represent my country, so I changed it blue. The design overall is quite similar to karting, but the colours are different.
“I have a few ideas for next year. I want to incorporate a few more Thai designs on the helmet, but overall to keep the designs the same. I will change a few colours around and see how it looks with the design. But I like this helmet, so I will probably keep it similar.”
