Four-time F1 champion Max Verstappen has unveiled a stunning new helmet design ahead of F1's return to the Miami International Autodrome this weekend for the Miami Grand Prix.

The F1 2026 championship was brought to an abrupt halt last month when both the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix were cancelled as a result of the Iran war.

Following the five-week enforced break, the F1 2026 campaign will now resume with a return to the unusual temporary circuit in Florida, which runs around the Hard Rock Stadium, the home of the Miami Dolphins NFL team.

During F1's unscheduled spring break, Verstappen and his struggling Red Bull outfit took to Silverstone to try out some upgrades on the RB22, which has so far underperformed under the new regulations cycle.

But that could all be about to change depending on the upgrades the energy drink giants are said to be bringing to Miami, a race weekend which will bring many changes as the 2026 chassis and power unit regulations have also been given some tweaks by the FIA ahead of the fourth round on the calendar.

And Verstappen will also be using the Miami sprint weekend to showcase a brand new look of his own- his bright pink Red Bull F1 helmet design.
