The Red Bull Formula One team has revealed the fan-created livery that Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will race in at the Miami Grand Prix this weekend. In 2023, there will be three Formula 1 races held in the United States, and Red Bull plans to run in unique colour schemes for each of the three events. Martina Andriano, an Argentine student of graphic design, won the competition in Miami with a design that incorporates the car's existing colour scheme. Special racing liveries are nothing new for Formula 1 teams. McLaren ran a special Gulf Oil livery on their MCL35M at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix and Red Bull also ran a special Honda tribute livery the same year during the Turkish GP that replaced the Japanese GP due to Covid-19. In addition to their standard racing liveries, Red Bull has used various one-off designs throughout the years. After four races in the 2023 season, Red Bull has taken the lead in the championship. In the Drivers' Standings, Verstappen is ahead of Perez by six points.

F1 Miami Grand Prix: Red Bull’s Max Verstappen reveals his special helmet design
The Dutch driver has released a new helmet design in honour of F1's return to Miami for the second time following the first race in 2022. The new helmet's style is extremely close to the old one, except it's navy and light blue with purple and white accents instead. The Miami Grand Prix and the Miami Dolphins, who play in the city where the GP is held, both use a light blue in their respective logos and branding. Last year, the Dutch driver won the first Miami Grand Prix after a thrilling race through the streets of one of America's most recognisable cities against Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
Similar clean design, new colors, new details
Really like how the helmet turned out, can’t wait to race with this one at the Miami GP

F1: The Miami Grand Prix
For the next Miami Grand Prix, Friday's scheduled Formula 1 free practice has been moved up somewhat. This weekend will be Formula 1's second time racing at the Miami International Autodrome, although both practice sessions' initial start times have been moved forward. The weekend on-track activities will go scheduled in Florida.
It's the city's second time hosting a Formula One event. Many people disliked the event because of its ostentatious appearance, despite the fact that last year's race and sessions were thrilling. Formula 1's following in the United States is growing significantly. So, F1 executives are gradually increasing the number of races held in the US to cash in on the growing popularity.
