Lewis Hamiltonās Brazil Cap for Interlagos
Ferrari and Puma jointly announced on 16 October that seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton would wear a Brazil-themed cap at the 2026 Brazilian Grand Prix. In the joint Instagram post, the Maranello-based team wrote:
“Lewis will be wearing a small piece of Brazil with him at Interlagos.Ā And it can also be yours soon. Available to buy on November 3rd,”

Photos accompanying the announcement showed Hamilton wearing the new design. The cap will go on sale on November 3, allowing supporters to obtain Ferrariās race-week merchandise before the Grand Prix weekend begins at Interlagos.
Design Inspired by Brazilās Flag
The cap features a bold yellow base with distressed detailing that reveals green underneath, reflecting the colours of the Brazilian flag. A silver Ferrari logo is prominently displayed on the front, while a matching silver Puma logo is embroidered on the front right of the bill. The national-colour palette therefore appears alongside both Ferrari branding and Pumaās signature mark.

Fan Reaction and Helmet Speculation
The announcement also prompted an enthusiastic response from fans. One fan commented, “Give me one right now, Sir Lewis Hamilton,” while another added: “I’m not even a Ferrari fan, but that is slick. I’d wear it.”
Other supporters questioned whether the cap could foreshadow a similar special helmet for Hamilton to introduce at Interlagos. The reported Ferrari and Puma announcement confirmed the cap but did not announce a matching helmet, leaving that possibility as fan speculation.
Hamiltonās Longstanding Connection to Brazil
Hamilton officially became an honorary citizen of Brazil in November 2022. The 41-year-old said at the time:
“Iād like to say a big, big thank you to everyone here at the house, for all those whoāve moved mountains to make this day possible,”
“It is honestly the greatest honour for me to be here receiving and accepting this citizenship. I really do feel like now Iām one of you, finally.
“When I arrived here in 2007 [Hamiltonās first F1 season], the love thatās grown, the experiences weāve had and, particularly 2021 [his charge to victory], knowing you guys were cheering me on the way, it was one of the most special moments of my entire life. I canāt wait for us to continue to strive ahead.
“I really want to dedicate today, this honour, to Ayrton Senna ā to Ayrtonās family, to his friends and to his fans. For me, when I was five years old, I saw Ayrton race for the first time, and that was the moment I knew that I wanted to be a world champion, just like him.
“It was then that I knew and learnt about Brazil. It was then that I started to play FIFA as Brazil! But really, through his eyes, I was able to see how passionate Brazilians were, and how deep it goes, the love and passion you have for your country, and how beautiful it is. Iām so excited to spend some more time here.”
2026 Brazilian Grand Prix and Triple-Header
The 2026 Brazilian Grand Prix is scheduled for November 6-8 and will round out a three-race sequence beginning with the United States Grand Prix from October 23-25. The Mexican Grand Prix follows from October 30 to November 1 before the Formula 1 calendar arrives in Brazil.
Ferrari and Pumaās November 3 release date falls between the Mexican event and the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend. Fans will therefore have three days to purchase the Brazil-themed cap before Hamilton is scheduled to wear it at Interlagos.
Why This Matters
For Ferrari and Puma, the release places event-specific merchandise alongside a well-documented driver relationship with the host country: Hamilton officially became an honorary citizen of Brazil in 2022. By showing the seven-time champion wearing the cap in a joint Instagram post, Ferrari and Puma paired the product with Hamiltonās established connection to Brazil, prompting both purchase interest and speculation about additional race-week apparel.
The confirmed milestones are straightforward: the cap goes on sale on November 3, followed by the Brazilian Grand Prix from November 6-8. A matching special helmet has not been confirmed in the cited announcement and should not be treated as an official Hamilton or Ferrari release unless further details are announced.
