123Helmets Editorial Team
Pierre Gasly’s special helmet for the 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix was shared by the Alpine driver and by Bell Racing this week, a design covered in painterly brushstrokes. Gasly called it a “Mexican gem” for the race weekend, with the Grand Prix set for Sunday 1 November 2026 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
Key Takeaways
Gasly’s Mexico City helmet carries the Years of Culture logo on the back.
The shell is covered in multicolour brushstrokes, with his number 10 in black on top.
Bell Racing painted the helmet for round 19, the race on Sunday 1 November 2026.
What Gasly’s Mexico City helmet looks like
The helmet has no single base colour: the whole shell is covered in loose, painterly brushstrokes in magenta, purple, bright yellow, orange, turquoise and light blue, with touches of light green. The strokes look layered, as if painted with a wide brush, and small clusters of darker magenta dots appear in places.
On top, a large magenta brushstroke loops around Gasly’s number 10, painted in black. The visor in the published photos has a mirrored rose and copper tint, and the shell carries a rear spoiler.
Front, sides and back
At the front, a Moser Watch logo with the H. Moser & Cie crest sits on the forehead, above a visor strip reading MSC, with eni at both ends. IntegraConnect is on the chin, and Sonic appears on both cheeks.
On the sides, BWT sits high on each side, with eToro and Castore further back. The left side carries a “JB17” mark, and an “AH” monogram sits on the right side towards the back.
The back gathers most of the details: eni and BWT at the top, the Bell Helmets logo in the middle, then the Years of Culture logo. Lower down come a small “GASLY” badge and two black lions facing each other, with the mark “Painting BELL Racing” at the very bottom.
Years of Culture and Bell Racing
The back of the helmet carries the Years of Culture logo, with its Arabic wording and a red zigzag mark. Years of Culture is the Qatar Museums cultural exchange initiative, and its 2026 edition is the Qatar–Canada–Mexico Year of Culture.
Gasly shared the design in collaboration with @yearsofculture, writing “Mexican gem this weekend! One of my favorite helmet design ever. Celebrating Mexico with @yearsofculture”. Bell Racing called it “A vibrant colorful celebration of Mexico” on his special helmet for this weekend. The design was painted by Bell Racing, whose mark sits at the bottom of the back.
Where it fits in the weekend
The Mexico City Grand Prix is round 19 of the 2026 calendar, and Gasly is in his 10th Formula 1 season with Alpine. Gasly posted his photos of the helmet in a garage, among Pirelli tyres, and Bell Racing followed less than an hour later with six studio photos.
