Fan Appreciation Spotlight: Mikaela Won a Mini Helmet Just by Collecting a Badge

The next chapter in our Fan Appreciation 2025 story belongs to Mikaela from Brazil, who’s now the proud owner of an Alex Albon 2025 Miami GP Mini Helmet after being chosen at random from fans who added the Fan Appreciation badge to their collection.

For Mikaela, the win was an unforgettable surprise – but her connection to the team and to Alex in particular goes much deeper.

“When I first started following motorsport a few years ago, I was still learning how to keep up with Formula 1,” she told us. “Right from the beginning, I felt a great connection with Alex and decided to research the team he was racing for.

“The moment I learned about the history of Williams, it captivated me deeply. My heart already knew which team on the grid I would love and support forever.”

That love for the team only grew stronger as she learned more about what makes Atlassian Williams Racing special.

“When I think of Williams, I think of greatness and history,” Mikaela said. “But greatness isn’t only about victories – it’s about the daily work of all the professionals who dedicate themselves to keeping the team at its best.

“That determination and teamwork are what I admire most.”

Her admiration for Alex runs just as deep – and for some very relatable reasons.

“I was quickly enchanted by Alex’s charismatic and kind personality. As the months went by, this affection only grew stronger.

“One detail that really won me over was his love for pets, especially cats. That completely captivated me, along with his kindness and that contagious smile. I sincerely hope to see him on the podium very soon.”

When it comes to engaging with the team, Mikaela is a regular on our app – and she’s quick to check in after every race.

“The badges are something I really love! After every Grand Prix, I rush to the app to check if there are any new ones. They’re fun, and they also represent memories of the history the team continues to build.”

Just like Mikaela, every badge you collect brings you closer to exclusive rewards, limited-edition prizes, and your chance to win something truly special.
