Flying for Diwali? Emirates unveils special festive menus and sweets
Here's what to expect
Max Verstappen will don Brazil-themed racing gear for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, as he unveils a helmet adorned with the vibrant green, yellow and blue colors of the Brazilian flag. The Dutch driver shared the design on Instagram, expressing his excitement about bringing a little "samba" to the race. This is not the first time Verstappen has celebrated this event with a new helmet - last year, he added gold and green accents to his traditional lion motif.
Verstappen's connection to Brazil runs deep, as his partner Kelly Piquet is the daughter of three-time world champion Nelson Piquet, and he counts Audi's Brazilian driver Gabriel Bortoleto as a close friend. The Interlagos circuit has been a significant part of Verstappen's career, with three victories in the race so far - 2019, 2023, and 2024.
His most memorable performance came in 2016, his second season in F1, when he secured a third-place finish in the rain-soaked race. Verstappen's upcoming win at Interlagos would add to his impressive record at the track, currently standing at three triumphs, including the 2024 victory.
