Pirelli F1 Podium Caps: The Caps Winners Wear
Quick answer: Pirelli, F1's official tyre supplier, makes the caps the top three finishers wear on the podium. Many races get their own design, released once and not restocked, which makes podium caps one of the most collectible caps in the sport. 2026 designs include Miami, Monza, Singapore and Austin.
Why drivers wear Pirelli caps
After the race, drivers swap their team caps for Pirelli podium caps before stepping onto the podium. It is part of Pirelli's role as the sport's tyre partner, and it means the podium cap appears in every winner's photo of the season.

The Saudi cap: a race that never ran
The 2026 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was cancelled, but its podium cap had already been made. No driver ever wore it on a podium, which makes it one of the most unusual caps of the season. See the future of the Saudi race.
Why collectors want them
Each race design is made once. Once a race has passed, its podium cap is gone for good, so fans often buy the cap from a race they attended or a win that mattered to them. Learn more in the best special edition caps of 2026 and how F1 merch drops work.
