Lewis Hamilton’s Gold Chrome Helmet at Singapore GP 2026

Key Takeaways

What the gold helmet looks like

The whole helmet is gold chrome, a mirror-like gold, with thin red lines running over the shell and a red pattern on the side. His number 44 and the Ferrari shield appear on the sides, and the Bell logo sits at the rear.

Partner branding is visible too: Perplexity and the HP logo on top, UniCredit, Bitdefender, Genesys and Ray-Ban on the sides, and “HAM” with Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0 at the rear. The visor is clear in the photos. Formula1.com wrote this week that Hamilton “went all gold in Singapore, giving his iconic yellow Ferrari-era helmet a glittering chrome finish”.

How Ferrari showed it

Scuderia Ferrari showed the helmet in Instagram posts across the Singapore weekend rather than in a single reveal. The first, on 9 October 2026 at 15:19 UTC, was captioned “Flecks of yellow and gold to brighten up the weather”. Later posts showed the helmet from above in the cockpit and in a close-up with Hamilton’s hand on Sprint day.

A Ferrari post earlier on 9 October still showed Hamilton in his usual yellow helmet. Who designed the gold version, and whether he keeps it after Singapore, has not been stated.

Hamilton’s Singapore weekend so far

Hamilton was P4 in free practice and P6 in sprint qualifying, according to Ferrari’s posts. Charles Leclerc was P2 in practice and P3 in sprint qualifying.

The Sprint is on Saturday 10 October and the race on Sunday 11 October 2026, so no result from either is reported here. For fans of the Hamilton and Ferrari collections, the gold helmet is one of the weekend’s talking points.
