Four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen has released a new merchandise line, the Brazil Collection, ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix.
The collection features two helmets - a 1:2 scale priced at £157.62 and a 1:4 scale at £70.04. "For 2025, Max unveils a unique helmet inspired by the spirit and legacy of Brazil, part of the exclusive Brazil Collection," the official Max Verstappen website states. In addition to the miniature helmets are two styles of cap: an Unleash The Lion yellow and green cap priced at £35 and a blue Red Bull Racing Teamline cap at £42, as well as an Unleash The Lion T-shirt at £35 and an Unleash The Lion zip-up hoodie at £61.28.
Verstappen claimed victory in the 2024 Brazilian Grand Prix after an impressive drive from 17th on the grid in extreme wet weather conditions. The Dutchman managed to climb to 11th on the chaotic opening lap of the race and was P2 by the 32nd lap. After a race restart on lap 43, Verstappen overtook Esteban Ocon to take the lead of the race, which he extended to 19.477 seconds by the time he took the chequered flag.
“My emotions today have been a roller coaster,” Verstappen explained after the race. “You know, with qualifying, being really unlucky with that red flag and starting P17, I knew that it was going to be a very tough race.
“But we stayed out of trouble, we made the right calls, we stayed calm and we were fine. All of these things together of course made that result possible. I mean, unbelievable to win here from so far back.
“Of course I was very frustrated with qualifying,” the Red Bull driver added. “But we tried to just use it as a good motivation in the race. Luckily we had a great start and from there onwards, we were just having a really good feeling in the car.
“We made all the right calls again, stayed calm, and executed when we needed to, so incredibly happy with today. Honestly, it's crazy. I never expected to go from P17 to P1. I was hoping for good points, but this is absolutely crazy.”
The 2025 Brazilian Grand Prix is set for 7-9 November at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, commonly known as Interlagos.
