Max Verstappen has unveiled a new helmet for the 2026 F1 season.
A week on from Red Bull Racing's RB22 launch at the home of new technical partner, Ford, in Detroit, Verstappen has now decided to show off the latest design of his Schuberth lid.
In contrast to previous seasons, the helmet bears the number 3 that Verstappen has chosen to race with this year after losing the right to bear the No.1 after missing out on a fifth consecutive drivers' championship last season by two points to Lando Norris.
There is also the 'Ford Racing' logo that features just above the visor on either side of the helmet. The colours are also far more glossy than previously, reflecting the livery of this year's car, and with a block design forming a background to the colours.
You can catch Verstappen's reveal below via a social media post.
