Franco ColapintoSão Paulo Grand Prix


The story

Colapinto showed a special helmet for the São Paulo Grand Prix in a carousel on his own Instagram on 5 November 2026, captioned "Casco especial para un finde especial" and thanking Bell Racing, Andy Werner and Bell's Michaël Aumento. It swaps the mainly white base of his Austin and Mexico City design for dark navy and yellow, with yellow confetti across the top, the number 43 in white on yellow, an Argentine flag stripe with the Sol de Mayo on the sides and a yellow sun on the back. Werner had said on 24 October that the Brazil version was on its way, in a reply to Boca Juniors, whose colours are blue and yellow.
