With all this, Albon raced at the Singapore Grand Prix with the helmet designed by the orphans. Now that Helmet has been sold at $90000, all the money will be reverted to the orphanage. The reason behind it was to help finance the renovation project of the sports hall, which will be renamed Alex Albon Sports Hall upon completion.

Albon has his say on the good deed, “They are basically raising money for their sports hall and it was up to them to design a helmet for me, ” Albon said. “There were about 200 kids that got involved and they all had a go. We’re going to auction off the helmet and we’re going to give 100 per cent of the proceeds to the charity.”

The quirky, light blue helmet features a big smile and several small drawings on the front. When speaking with Motorsport.com earlier this year about his charity push, “Obviously, I feel like I’m in a great position to try and help. We’ve been able to donate quite a lot of money and we’re not stopping, we want to keep going.” Albon said
