Key Takeaways
Adrien Paviot Designs posted two renders and BS Designs photos of the painted helmet on 23 Oct 2026.
Scuderia Ferrari’s photos show the real helmet on his number 16 Ferrari.
The crown carries a red circle reading AUSTIN TX.
What the Austin helmet looks like
The helmet is split into a white upper half with a black-and-grey street map pattern and a red lower half with white racing lines. The render’s background repeats the same map, showing a river and a lake.
On the crown sits a red circle with “AUSTIN TX” in red lettering, crossed by a red and white band. “#JB17” is written on the map near the front of the crown. A large red number 16 outlined in white appears on both sides, and the Ferrari shield is on the forehead and near the front of the top. A clear aero piece sits on top of the shell.
Sponsors and lettering
The design carries a full Ferrari partner line-up. UniCredit and Bitdefender appear on the sides and top, while Richard Mille runs along the visor strip with Ray-Ban near the pivots and hp in the centre.
VistaJet and IBM are on the chin sides, with Shell V-Power and BingX on the chin. Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and NGK Spark Plugs sit on the back above the CL16 logo and the Bell Helmets logo. Low on the rear sides, “PAPA” is written on one side and “JULES” on the other.
From render to the garage
Scuderia Ferrari posted six photos of the real helmet in the garage, captioned “Completing the set 🔥 @charles_leclerc”: on the bodywork of his number 16 Ferrari, on a stand, from the side and from above on the nose of the car. Leclerc reshared two of them in his own Instagram story. The renders show a dark visor, while the real helmet has an orange-gold mirrored visor.
Adrien Paviot Designs captioned the post “Austin, TX” with the hashtags #F1 #US #essereferrari #CL16 #JB17. Fans of the driver can browse more in the Charles Leclerc collection or the Ferrari collection.
BS Designs (@bs_designs_helmet) also posted photos of the painted helmet the same day, captioned “Austin Gp helmet design for @charles_leclerc. Red and White design with Austin map view”.
