A week after the launch of the new Red Bull, which begins a new chapter in its history with Ford power units in 2026, Max Verstappen also decided to reveal his personal innovation in view of this championship. The four-time world champion, through his official social media profiles, presented the livery of the helmet that he will use in 2026. Designed by Schubert, the Dutchman decided to highlight the number 3, having lost the right to apply the number 1 as he was no longer the reigning world champion. To this, Verstappen added the Ford logo just above the visor on both sides of the helmet, with a generally glossier color scheme than last season.
