Charles Leclerc 2026 US GP Austin F1 replica helmet

The Charles Leclerc 2026 US GP Austin F1 replica helmet is a full-size 1:1 display and collector replica of Charles Leclerc’s special helmet for the 2026 United States Grand Prix in Austin. It appeared on Instagram on 23 October 2026, in two renders signed “adrien paviot designs” and posted by @adripaviotdesigns under a short caption, “Austin, TX”, with the hashtags #essereferrari, #CL16 and #JB17.

The same day, BS Designs (@bs_designs_helmet) shared photos of the painted helmet as an “Austin Gp helmet design for @charles_leclerc”, adding: “Red and White design with Austin map view”. The line sums up the design well: two colours, red and white, and a map of the city that hosts the race. Scuderia Ferrari later posted photos of the real helmet in the garage, and Leclerc reshared two of them in his own Instagram story.

The shell is split into two halves. The upper half is white, covered with a black-and-grey street map pattern; the lower half is red, with white racing lines running along it. The map gives the white top its fine detail, and the red below gives the helmet a strong, simple base.

The crown is the centrepiece. A red circle carries “AUSTIN TX” in red lettering, crossed by a red and white band, with the map running underneath. Near the front of the crown, “#JB17” is written on the map.

The number 16, large, in red outlined in white, sits on both sides. It is his race number, and it comes back at the rear, where the CL16 logo sits above the Bell Helmets logo.

The Ferrari shield, with its green-white-red edge, sits on the forehead and again on the top, near the front. A clear aero piece sits on the top of the shell. Low on the sides at the back, two words are written: “PAPA” on one side and “JULES” on the other.

The partner logos run around the whole shell. UniCredit and Bitdefender appear on the sides and the top. On the visor strip, Richard Mille is written on both sides, with Ray-Ban near the pivots and the blue hp logo in the centre; hp appears again on the top and at the back. VistaJet and IBM, in white on red, sit on the chin sides, with Shell V-Power and BingX on the chin. At the back, Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and NGK Spark Plugs sit above the CL16 logo and the Bell Helmets logo, all on a Bell shell, with Bell on the visor pivot.

Scuderia Ferrari posted six photos of the real helmet in the garage, captioned “Completing the set 🔥 @charles_leclerc”, and Leclerc reshared two of them in his Instagram story: the helmet on the bodywork of his number 16 Ferrari, and a close-up of its crown with AUSTIN TX and #JB17. The photos also show one difference from the renders: the visor is dark on the renders, while the real helmet has an orange-gold mirrored visor. On the replica, visor options are chosen in the configurator on this page.

The nine images cover the design from every side. Adrien Paviot Designs’ two renders show the helmet from the side, with the same street map, a river and a lake in the background, and in four views: front, top, back and side. Scuderia Ferrari’s five photos show the real helmet in the garage: on the bodywork of his number 16 Ferrari, from the front on a stand, three-quarters from the front on the car, from the right side with the 16, PAPA and CL16, and from above, resting on the nose of the car. BS Designs’ two photos show the painted crown, with AUSTIN TX, #JB17 and the Ferrari shield, and the painted back, with Peroni, NGK, CL16 and the number 16.

As a full-size 1:1 replica, this helmet is a display and collection object — a shelf, cabinet or desk centrepiece for a Leclerc or Ferrari collection, and a keepsake of the 2026 United States Grand Prix. Its interest is entirely visual: the street map on the white upper half, the AUSTIN TX crown, the large 16, the red lower half with its white lines, its proportions and its display presence.

It joins a long line of Leclerc helmets in the catalogue: his 2026 season helmet, his 2026 Monaco, Monza and Singapore GP specials, and earlier designs such as the 2025 Monaco GP, 2025 Miami GP, 2024 Singapore GP, 2023 Las Vegas GP and 2019 Italian GP helmets. Next to them, this one is his special for the 2026 race in Austin.

For collectors, a design built around a map is a special tied to one place: the white upper half carries what BS Designs calls an “Austin map view”, and the crown names the city. On the same day it appeared in three ways: as renders, in photos of the painted helmet and on his car in the garage. The posts present it as his Austin helmet and do not say whether it will appear again, so Austin is the one confirmed outing for now.

Because the crown carries AUSTIN TX, the helmet is worth displaying a little below eye level, or turned three-quarters from the front, so the crown and the 16 on the side are both in view. A darker background brings out the white and red, and a soft light from above brings out the fine lines of the map.

The United States Grand Prix is round 18 of the 2026 season, at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, with the race on Sunday 25 October 2026. Leclerc races for Ferrari with the number 16. The replica reproduces the livery and design shown in the renders and photos, at real size; visor and interior options are chosen on this page before ordering, with the same configurator as the rest of the catalogue.

This design is offered as a pre-order. Because it is a just-revealed helmet, the images show the original racing helmet for reference; your replica is produced to reproduce that livery and design, and is made to order following your purchase.
