Max Verstappen Dutch GP Helmet 1/2 Scale Unboxing & Review

Today we are taking a look at something I haven't reviewed before, being a 1/2 scale "mini" helmet. The Max Verstappen "Zandvoort" Dutch GP helmet of 2022 to be precise. I bought this from the Verstappen Shop for 159,95, which is to be fair, quite ridiculous for what you're getting in my opinion. Nonetheless, this helmet is a tribute to the helmet his father Jos Verstappen wore in his time in Formula 1. Also a nice touch Max won the Dutch Grand Prix with this tribute helmet.

"This spoiler thing looks silly! Does it really make a difference?"
Adrian Newey: So you have chosen death?!?!!???

[@555becs]

what is the thing that is spinning the helmet on show? the white circle?

[@paulo9504]

Helmet spoiler and chin spoiler help reduce buffering from turbulence around the head and helmet lift.

[@JurianHamstra]

They're more familair in IndyCar right? The chin spoiler that is.
Got quite the backlash from my opinion on the price of this 1/2 helmet on Facebook, yikes.

​@@JurianHamstra Since Indy Car has gone to their version of the halo, the aeroscreen (which was originally designed by Red Bull Technology), drivers don't run a chin spoiler or wing (sculpted or otherwise) any longer. they just have an air intake nozzle on top of their helmets that allow an air hose to attach and pipe in cool air to try to keep their heads cool. Before the aerscreen, it was common for Indy Car drivers to use different helmets for different circuits. They would run a completely different helmet at Indianapolis for the Indy 500 than what they would run at Long Beach. Higher speeds required a different helmet set up.

2022 Max helmets not going for as much as his 2021 helmets because Verstappen Shop has been doing more re-orders on this year's because demand is much higher. For instance, Miami helmet has already sold out the first two or three waves. However, demand is so high that they are taking pre-orders for that helmet to be shipped sometime in 1Q of 2023. So, one would be smart to avoid eBay on 2022 helmets as you can still snag them off Max's website. Unlike his 2021 helmets, eBay prices are considerably lower than what his 2021 helmets are going for. The market for Max's 2022 helmets is over saturated on eBay right now.
I do think the helmets are worth the money. They aren't diecast cars but they are a cool thing to collect if you are into F1. You can get mini-hemets for every driver so it is a fan collectible just as much as anything out there today.
Are you going to put the other vent stickers on? I like to use actual photos of the helmet, not the diagram that comes with the packet with the tear-offs and vent stickers. I think the diagram isn't quite accurate.

[@f1playlist308]

Too many people buying them to try and flip on eBay. Hopefully they will all disappear if the market gets over saturated. Makes them easier to get.
