Norris and Piastri unveil their real-life LEGO F1 helmets

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have unveiled the unique helmets they’ll be wearing for the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, designed in collaboration with the LEGO Group and McLaren.

43017 McLaren Mastercard F1 Team Oscar Piastri Helmet and 43023 McLaren Mastercard F1 Team Lando Norris Helmet are both available now (having only been officially revealed yesterday), and offer brick-built versions of their respective drivers’ brand new commemorative helmets.

Alongside the official reveal of the two LEGO sets, both drivers also revealed their corresponding real-life helmets, which will be worn to celebrate McLaren’s 1000th Formula 1 race in Monaco this weekend. Just like their LEGO counterparts, the helmets mash up the drivers’ signature colour schemes with a unique McLaren papaya orange livery.

You might spot a couple of differences between the real helmets and the LEGO versions, though: namely the particular sponsors included. The LEGO sets omit Monster Energy, Etihad, Android and OneFlight from their printed pieces, but do include Mastercard, Dropbox, OKX and other logos.

The LEGO Group obviously hasn’t discussed why some of those sponsors have been left out, but we can make educated guesses: including an energy drink logo would likely have pushed these into 18+ territory, for instance, as it did with LEGO Speed Champions’ 77243 Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20 in 2025. As is, they’re marketed to ages 14+, like the Ferrari helmets before them.

In any case, the meat of these helmets – their colourful designs and printed patterns – are pretty much identical between the real-life versions and their LEGO adaptations, as you’d hope given they were designed in tandem.
