The three winning helmet designs will be worn by Pierre Gasly for his key races in the 2024 F1 season scheduled at Mexico and Qatar
Qatar Creates announced the continuation of its partnership with F1 driver Pierre Gasly of the BWT Alpine F1 Team. Returning for a second year, this collaboration will feature exclusive helmet designs for three key races in the 2024 F1 season: Mexico, and Qatar.
In an exciting new addition to this partnership, Qatar Creates is launching a global open call for artists to submit helmet designs, offering creatives worldwide the chance to contribute to this unique fusion of sports, art, and culture. The three selected winning designs will be worn by Gasly during his two key races.
The previous collaboration unveiled two custom-designed racing helmets crafted by Qatari artists Shouq Al Mana and Alanoud Al Ghamdi. Alanoud’s helmet, inspired by Qatari desert flora, fauna, and national symbols, was auctioned for charity after the main race on 8 October 2023 with 300 premium replicas made available for purchase. Shouq’s helmet, incorporating her work the Egal, inspired by a piece of cultural men’s headwear, part of the national attire, was worn during qualifiers and then exhibited at the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum.
