adidas and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team unveil their new teamwear collection, uniquely crafted to equip each team member. Maintaining the visual identity of its inaugural drop, this season’s drop injects fresh design codes rooted in Mercedes’ iconic colors, shapes and values.
Marking the second year of adidas being the Official Team Partner of Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team, the brands look to continue the merging of their shared principles of performance and excellence. The fresh range of apparel, footwear and accessories draw on adidas’ expertise creating technical yet stylish wear for almost every major sport whilst also providing fans with collections to mark their fandom.
Dialing up simplicity and comfort, whilst ensuring style is not compromised, each piece across the new collection is tailored precisely for the wearer – from drivers to engineers and mechanics – optimising fit and functionality. With varied visual features and cutting-edge technologies incorporated across a range of polos, jackets, jerseys and tracksuits, the collection is set to serve the whole team – as well as fans in the grandstands – through intense race-day moments. Key highlights include:
-
Driver wear: Fusing a style-first aesthetic with technical functionality, the hero authentic driver jerseys feature an all-over shiny print – an engineered pattern versus a regular fabric – inspired by the team’s symbol of unity and cohesion. Mixed with hints of the classic Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team teal, the pieces also incorporate adidas’ CLIMACOOL technology, helping to keep drivers cool and dry off the track, while offering a lightweight and comfortable feel when walking around the paddock.
-
Mechanics: The full and short-sleeve cuts deliver a modernised silhouette, with a curved teal graphic creating a fast, technical look designed to support peak performance.
-
Engineer: Shifting from a white base to black – establishing the latter as the main colour for the entire Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team – the pieces maintain the collection’s balance of form and function. The team logos and detailing illuminate against the darker base tones, while cutting-edge technologies offer a refined blend of elegance, comfort and performance.
The collection is completed by a signature range of footwear, including a reimagined Ultraboost 5 featuring a teal heel that fades into a black mid and forefoot, finished with instantly recognisable glossy silver Three Stripes, alongside caps in the colorway of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team – all built for style and performance excellence on race day.
Speaking about the new collection, Michael Batz, Motorsport Category GM at adidas, said: “As we gear up for the second year of our partnership, we have continued to pour a lot of thought and craft into designing pieces that meet the demands of every single member of the team – rooted in our commitment to support all to reaching peak performance. Through different cuts, fabrics and design codes, we have considered individual needs whilst still celebrating the Mercedes team’s identity. We can’t wait to see it being worn by all during the upcoming season!”
Richard Sanders, Chief Commercial Officer at the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, said: “Our partnership with adidas is built on a shared commitment to performance, innovation, and style. Our second teamwear collection reflects those values perfectly yet again – delivering apparel that not only meets the technical demands of F1 but also embodies the identity of our team. Every detail has been considered to ensure our team members and fans are not only ready for every condition but will both look and feel sophisticated and proud, whether they are in the garage, engaging with partners and fans, or supporting the team from around the world.”
George Russell, Driver at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team said: “In this new adidas teamwear collection they’ve really put our team’s performance at the forefront of its design. For us, every detail matters, and what we wear is no exception. This kit allows me to stay sharp, focused, and perform at my peak, giving not only me but our team a crucial advantage as we push for both championships.”
Kimi Antonelli, Driver at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team said: “It’s amazing for me to work with a partner like adidas, who understands the need to innovate. As I look forward to taking a significant step up in my second season in F1, their commitment to optimising fit and function means I can step out onto the track feeling confident and ready to focus entirely on my performance and delivering results.”
