Pirelli Adult Special Edition Australia GP 2026 1st Place Cap

The official podium cap of the 2026 Formula 1® Australian Grand Prix. Worn by the drivers during the podium ceremony at Melbourne's Albert Park Circuit, this cap marks the opening victory of the 2026 Formula 1® season: the first moment a driver steps onto the podium and begins their championship campaign.

Made to Pirelli's exacting standards, the cap features precision embroidery throughout, including the iconic Pirelli branding on the front, specific details from the Melbourne race, and the championship laurel embroidered in gold metallic thread. The cotton twill construction ensures durability, shape, and exceptional stitching definition, reflecting the quality expected of the official Formula 1® podium ceremony.

Australian Blue: The color story behind the cap

The deep blue crown is directly inspired by the Australian national flag, giving the cap stability and identity. The white stars embroidered on the crown recall the Southern Cross constellation, a distinctive symbol of Australia visible in the night sky above Albert Park during the race weekend. Together, these elements create an unmistakable connection to the country and the season-opening race.
