Alba Larsen has revealed a special helmet design for the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, unveiling a Montreal-specific look in a new video as F1 Academy returns to the city. The Ferrari F1 Academy driver shared the design on May 22, giving fans an early glimpse of the helmet she will carry into one of the series’ most visible weekends.
The helmet uses a vibrant light blue camouflage-inspired pattern, with classic Ferrari colours running vertically through the centre. It also carries the Ferrari shield, central red-and-white detailing, and branding from Ferrari Driver Academy partners. The design was created specifically for Montreal, making it part race kit and part statement piece for a weekend that usually draws a lot of attention beyond the track.
Helmet reveals have become an increasingly important part of motorsport culture, with drivers using them to express personality, mark special events and connect with fans. Larsen’s version fits that pattern neatly, while also reflecting Ferrari’s long-term investment in young talent through its wider driver development project. The team and its academy have treated those pathways as part of a broader effort to build the next generation of racing prospects.
What makes this reveal stand out is the timing. F1 Academy returns to Montreal on the same day the helmet was unveiled, turning a simple design drop into part of the weekend’s story before the cars even roll out. For Larsen, the helmet is more than a colour scheme. It is the visual marker of a driver arriving at a major event with her own identity fully on display.
