These replicas will be available for purchase before the race, allowing fans to own a piece of Verstappen’s iconic helmet.
As a result, it is likely that the Miami GP will see many fans wearing mini replicas of the personalized helmet. Verstappen shared a promotional video of the helmet on his social media platform, X, ahead of the American weekend.
