9 times superhero movies made it onto the F1 grid

Formula 1 has long enjoyed a strong connection with superhero cinema, featuring everything from special helmet designs to marketing collaborations. Drivers like Esteban Ocon and Lewis Hamilton have frequently expressed their fandom through themed racing gear and emotional tributes, such as Ocon’s ongoing Spider-Man helmet series and Hamilton’s 'Wakanda Forever' salute to Chadwick Boseman. Team-level partnerships have also been a staple, with Alpine running a Deadpool & Wolverine livery, Red Bull promoting Superman Returns with a cape-wearing podium in 2006, and Williams collaborating with Marvel for a comic book series featuring their driver duo. High-profile appearances, such as Tom Holland waving the chequered flag in Monaco or movie stars like Chris Hemsworth visiting the paddock, continue to highlight the natural synergy between Hollywood’s biggest franchises and the F1 grid.
