Formula 1 drivers Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson of the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls (VCARB) team have taken an unusual step to thank their hardworking pit crew: asking fans and creatives to design a bold, one-of-a-kind helmet through Airtasker.
The brief, live now on the local services platform, challenges designers to come up with concepts that are “big, bold, and badass.” The winning idea will be transformed into a special-edition helmet to be worn by the pit crew during the Qatar Grand Prix in December 2025.
Hadjar and Lawson said in their post: “The pit crew have been crushing it, and we want to find someone who can design a special edition helmet for them – something wild, unforgettable and creative as a thank you gift they’ll never forget. They’re the heartbeat of everything we do, so we want to create something as legendary as they are.”
Submissions will be reviewed personally by the two drivers, who will select their favourite concept. The chosen Tasker will then bring their idea to life before the helmets are unveiled later this season.
The task is titled “Need Crazy and Creative Ideas for F1 Helmet” and carries a £500 reward for the winning design.
Tim Fung, founder and CEO of Airtasker, said the collaboration showed how the platform can connect talent with unique opportunities: “It’s awesome to see VCARB Formula 1 drivers turning to Airtasker to find creative talent – it proves that anyone can get anything done on our platform. Motorsport is driven by passion and precision, just like the Airtasker community. Whether you’re a designer, a racing fan, or just someone with a wild idea, this is your moment.”
For fans and aspiring designers, the project is being hailed as a once-in-a-lifetime chance to leave a mark on the world of Formula 1. By merging Airtasker’s community-driven ethos with the spectacle of elite motorsport, the initiative celebrates creativity in a way that reaches far beyond the racetrack.
