The start of Formula 1 2025 is just around the corner. All 10 teams unveiled their cars, driver lineups, and liveries for the season at “F1 75 Live,” with preseason testing in Bahrain following on February 26-28, and the season kicking off in Australia on March 14-16.

It’s a particularly exciting time for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team as it has a new official partner for 2025 and beyond. George Russell and Kimi Antonelli’s racing overalls now show the three stripes, indicating the new collaboration.

And fans of the team can show their support as the first Adidas x Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team collection has just been unveiled. The new team wear—apparel, accessories, and footwear—has been created with performance technologies and performance functionality in mind.

At the top of the collection is the driver wear, with lightweight fabric with Aeroready technology to keep Russell and Antonelli comfortable and concentrated. Fan wear will replicate the driver wear, with more driver-specific fan wear coming later this year. As mentioned, expect limited- or special-edition releases as the season progresses, such as round- or track-specific shirts. Caps are also a favorite, with fans identifying with the team and their favorite driver.

This being Adidas, of course, sneakers such as Ultraboost 5 and Supernova will be part of the range.

“It’s incredible for us as a team to work with a brand like Adidas that truly understands what it is like to operate at the highest levels in sport,” Russell said. “Their knowledge, expertise, and attention to detail are things that are only going to benefit us as a team and hopefully give us an advantage as we set out to fight for race wins and championships, both this season and beyond.”

“We’re hugely excited to work with Adidas as a team, and personally, as I look forward to my first season in F1, it feels even more special, and I’m so glad to be working with a partner that truly understands an athlete’s mindset,” Antonelli continued. “The first time I wore the new kit with my teammates is a moment I will remember forever, and I can’t wait to look out in the stands and see the fans wearing it, too.”
