The Stilo ST5 FN ABP is the carbon-fibre full-face helmet certified to the FIA 8860-2018 Advanced Ballistic Protection standard — the highest homologation level in Formula 1. Lance Stroll wore this exact specification throughout the 2024 season with Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team, carrying race number 18 on every round of the calendar. Spark Model's resin replica locks in the specific livery configuration Stroll ran at Montreal in June 2024.
The Stilo ST5 FN ABP: Carbon and Certification
Stilo's ST5 FN ABP shell is built from ultra-light carbon fibre composite, engineered to satisfy the FIA 8860-2018 ABP standard — a regulation that adds ballistic fragment protection over the base 8860-2018 requirements. Every helmet used in F1 must carry this homologation, and the ST5 FN ABP has been the helmet of choice for a number of the grid's drivers since the standard became mandatory. Its construction represents the current ceiling of what is permitted and possible in open-wheel racing head protection.
Montreal, June 2024: Stroll at Home
The 2024 Canadian Grand Prix ran at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on June 7–9, 2024 — a race that carries particular weight for the Stroll family, given Lawrence Stroll's ownership of Aston Martin F1. Lance qualified P10 and finished P9, scoring 2 championship points aboard the AMR24, powered by Mercedes-AMG F1 M15 E Performance 1.6-litre V6 turbo-hybrid. The helmet livery for the race featured the team's British Racing Green tones alongside prominent Aramco and Cognizant branding, with the number 18 displayed on the shell — precisely as reproduced on this model.
The 1:5 Scale Model: Resin and Livery Accuracy
Spark Model — known for its Formula 1 licensing and attention to sponsor graphics — produces this replica in resin at 1:5 scale. The 1:5 helmet series sits apart from Spark's car range and represents a focused, event-specific collecting category. The livery graphics on this piece, catalogued as the No. 18 Canada GP 2024 helmet, replicate the Aramco and Cognizant sponsor layout as worn by Stroll on race day, making it a documentary record of the sponsorship landscape of this F1 era in miniature form.
In the Display Cabinet
The 1:5 format makes this helmet a compact yet visually authoritative addition to any F1 collection. It pairs naturally with 1:18 or 1:43 scale replicas of the AMR24, creating a driver-focused display centred on Stroll's 2024 season. Collectors building around the Aston Martin F1 story — or around the Canadian GP specifically — will find the race provenance (P9, 2 points, home round) gives the piece a concrete anchor beyond mere livery interest.
