Uniting art and sport on a global stage, Gasly is debuting two new helmet designs at Grand Prix races in The Netherlands and Brazil, each created in partnership with artists inspired by the mission of Years of Culture to build dialogue and mutual understanding through cross-cultural exchange. Transforming one of F1’s most visible symbols, this partnership engages fans worldwide through the creative visions of artists from diverse international backgrounds.
Chamarelli explained that the falcon is the main symbolic figure, representing Qatar’s strength and culture. The colours of the Brazilian flag are woven throughout the design, merging with the maroon tone of Qatar’s flag to create harmony between both nations. The shapes evoke the dunes of the Qatari desert and the green of the Brazilian rainforest, symbolising the connection between nature and land. Indigenous patterns and the sun represent energy and life, culminating in a colourful composition that celebrates the union of two cultures through art and symbolism.
Pierre Gasly said: “Racing is a global stage that brings people and cultures together. Partnering with Years of Culture allows me to share the creativity and stories of artists from around the world. Each helmet I wear carries a piece of that dialogue.”
Gasly debuted the first helmet of the series on Aug. 31 at Circuit Zandvoort in The Netherlands. Created by Dutch artist Johan Moorman, the design reinterpreted Amsterdam’s iconic façades and the palettes of the Dutch and French flags, integrating Gasly’s personal heritage into the motif.
Since its inception in 2012, Years of Culture has built lasting bridges between Qatar and nations across the world, building understanding through creativity, dialogue, and collaboration.
