The choice follows a common trend in the Florida stage, where drivers usually bet on distinctive visuals. Besides Bortoleto, Max Verstappen also announced a themed helmet for the weekend, reinforcing the relaxed and visually striking atmosphere of the event.
Bortoleto’s new helmet maintains the characteristic horizontal stripe pattern but gains new colors in orange and pink, combined with the traditional white. The design also includes black details that reference the palm trees and the typical Miami skyline.

Audi itself highlighted the concept behind the paint in an official post, stating: “In Miami, sun protection is not the only thing we take very seriously. Gabi’s special helmet is proof of that.” The message reinforces the direct connection with the city’s scenery and the event’s style.
With this, the American stage consolidates itself not only as one of the most important events on the recent Formula 1 calendar but also as a showcase of style on and off the track, where visual identity and performance go hand in hand.
