Max Verstappen is known for his tradition of creating unique helmets for American F1 events. In the upcoming Miami GP, all attention will be on Verstappen’s exceptional performance and his specially designed helmet. He will be switching from his usual helmet to a custom-made one specifically for the American weekend, adding an extra touch of glamour to the occasion.
The special edition helmet features Red Bull’s signature dark blue color, representing Verstappen’s team. It also includes various elements that pay homage to the reigning world champion. For instance, the helmet showcases three stars, symbolizing Verstappen’s three world championships. Additionally, it proudly displays the American flag, honoring the host country of the race.
Verstappen will wear this custom helmet throughout all three American races in the 2024 season. To cater to his fans’ excitement, the Dutchman has prepared scaled-down replicas of the special helmet in both 1:2 and 1:4 sizes. These replicas will be available for purchase before the race, allowing fans to own a piece of Verstappen’s iconic headgear.
As a result, it is likely that the Miami GP will see many fans sporting mini replicas of the custom helmet. Verstappen shared a promotional video of the helmet on his social media platform, X, ahead of the American weekend.
Max Verstappen expressed his thoughts on the passion American fans have for motorsports, particularly Formula 1. With three races now taking place in the United States, Formula 1 has seen increased American involvement, which has proven to be highly beneficial for the sport. Verstappen noted that American fans are incredibly passionate about motorsports in general, not just Formula 1. The design of the special edition helmet reflects the continent’s love for the sport and the memories created by the drivers on American soil.
With his dominant performances, Max Verstappen is expected to continue his success during the American weekend. The 26-year-old driver will further extend his lead in the Drivers’ championship, thanks to the exceptional RB20 car provided by Red Bull.
