Red Bull and the special helmet liveries
The 2026 Dutch Grand Prix will undoubtedly be a special event: the upcoming weekend will mark the end of the summer break, but above all it will be the last to take place in the Netherlands in Formula 1. From next year, in fact, Zandvoort will be removed from the calendar after its return in 2021, and the home hero Max Verstappen will do everything possible to win to bid farewell to his fans in the best way. Meanwhile, the four-time world champion has unveiled a special livery for his helmet that he will wear for this race, but he will not be the only one at Red Bull.

In memory of the first podium, and more
His teammate, Isack Hadjar, will also compete in the last Dutch GP with a helmet design different from this year’s, but for reasons different from Verstappen’s. The Frenchman, in fact, wants to remember the result he achieved last year right at Zandvoort, when he took 3rd place as a Racing Bulls driver.

A placement that coincided with the first podium in Formula 1, and since then never achieved again either with the Faenza team or at Red Bull, narrowly missing 3rd place in Monte Carlo. Also on the same helmet, there is a humorous reference to the episode that occurred during the award ceremony, when the trophy broke in two.
