IN PHOTOS: Check out the special driver helmets and one-off car liveries at the Miami Grand Prix
As F1 returns to action at the Miami Grand Prix, there has also been plenty going on off the track when it comes to showing off some striking helmet designs and special car liveries for the weekend. Check out some of the best below…
Ferrari
While red is synonymous with Ferrari, for this weekend the SF-24 will also feature flashes of blue to mark the 70th anniversary of the Scuderia’s presence in North America.
Charles Leclerc
And with that, the team’s drivers have opted for a change when it comes to their lids. Charles Leclerc unveiled his design ahead of the event to support the one-off colour scheme.
Carlos Sainz
Fellow Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz is also sticking to the theme, with his helmet featuring the historic Azzurro Dino shade of blue.
RB
Elsewhere on the grid, RB have embraced a colourful look via their “Chameleon” livery. The team have said that the design was inspired by the palette associated with the city of Florida and the colour tones on the Cash App Visa Chameleon Card.

Oscar Piastri
We certainly won’t miss Oscar Piastri with this eye-catching helmet design, adorned with an array of colours and some palm trees as a nod to the local terrain.
Sergio Perez
Another noticeable look comes courtesy of Sergio Perez. The Mexican’s helmet sports an alligator look, while also including the flags of the countries of South America on the top.
Esteban Ocon
As Alpine look to improve on their difficult start to the season, Esteban Ocon will be hoping that his special new lid – featuring a graffiti-style design – will bring him luck in Miami.
