What Williams revealed for the US Grand Prix
Williams revealed one-off Marvel race suits and helmets for Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz ahead of the 2026 United States Grand Prix at COTA. The team shared the set in a six-image Instagram post on 23 October 2026, captioned “Super Hero mentality, unlocked.”
The tie-in promotes Avengers: Doomsday. Every image carries the lockup “ATLASSIAN Williams F1 Team × Marvel Studios AVENGERS DOOMSDAY — IN THEATERS DECEMBER 18”.
Alex Albon’s silver helmet and suit
Albon’s helmet has a brushed, metallic silver shell with a dark tinted visor. The Atlassian triangle mark sits on the forehead, with ATLASSIAN lettering on the side.
The visor strip carries Barclays in white on a light-blue band, with Duracell at the end. Monsoon Valley Grape Juice appears on the side and chin, and Komatsu and the number 23 sit at the back. Claude and the Kraken logo sit on the chin. His dark navy and charcoal race suit carries a yellow “Alex Albon” name tag.
Carlos Sainz’s navy helmet and suit
Sainz’s helmet has a navy blue shell with a large silver five-point star on the side. Red, white and silver stripes sweep to the back, and the top is silver.
ATLASSIAN runs across the top of the side, with Duracell and Barclays on the visor strip and a red visor pivot. Wilkinson Sword and Estrella Galicia 0,0 sit on the side, with Komatsu on the chin. His race suit has a navy upper with red and white chest stripes and red forearms, and red lower legs with a darker pattern. Fans of the Williams pair can browse the Alex Albon collection for display pieces.
Helmet maker Stilo posted nine studio close-ups of the helmet the same day, captioned “Avengers, assemble! Here is the special ST6 livery of Carlos Sainz for Austin 🇺🇸”. They show a matt navy shell and a star with a brushed metal finish, his number 55 outlined in red on the back of the crown next to a small red chilli pepper, and a blue mirrored visor under the Barclays and Duracell strip. Claude and the Kraken logo sit on the chin, with New Era beside them. At the back, the Stilo logo sits under a red star, above the signature DAVEDESIGNS.
Carlos Sainz also posted his “Americas helmet” the same day, a different design from the Marvel one: a white shell with blue chrome stripes, a red lower edge and a red star, a “CARLOS SAINZ” band, and an “Austin” sticker added next to the one from Miami, captioned “Adding a new sticker to the Americas helmet! 🇺🇲”. Stilo presents the Marvel design as his special livery for Austin; Sainz’s own post does not say when he will use the Americas helmet.
