Max Verstappen has unveiled the special Miami Grand Prix-themed helmet he will wear during Formula 1’s fourth race weekend of the season in Florida. The four-time world champion has endured a difficult start to the season, collecting just 12 points from the opening three races, a run that also included a major crash in Australia and a retirement in China caused by technical problems. The Dutchman currently sits ninth in the championship standings, behind several midfield drivers, with the RB22 so far failing to give him the platform needed to showcase the level of speed and talent he has consistently delivered over the past few years.
With his Nordschleife outings now behind him after competing across two separate weekends during the April break, Verstappen is ready to begin again with a fresh start in Miami. For the occasion, the Dutchman will also sport a special pink-and-purple helmet featuring palm tree-inspired graphics as a tribute to the Florida round.

Racing Bulls surprises with a new bright yellow livery for the Miami GP
Racing Bulls have unveiled a striking special livery ahead of the Miami Grand Prix weekend, with the team embracing a bright yellow summer-inspired look across the cars, race suits and full team kit. The launch took place in spectacular fashion on the water, where wakeboarder Guenther Oka dramatically removed the covers from the car while jumping over it, as Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad watched the reveal unfold from nearby boats.
The presentation later moved into Miami itself, with the team arriving at a waterfront venue by yacht before officially showcasing the design to invited guests, partners, media and fans. CEO Peter Bayer explained that Miami has become an important opportunity for Racing Bulls to express the team’s identity through bold and creative liveries, adding that this year’s design was created to reflect the squad’s energetic and boundary-pushing approach.
