Mercedes and Adidas – the titans of motorsport and the legends of sportswear have just unveiled the F1 outfit’s 2025 team kit, and it's a stylish fusion of performance and swagger.

The collaboration marks the first collection between the two powerhouses, and the Brackley squad is looking good!

Adidas, with 75 years of athletic expertise, has brought its A-game to the F1 circuit. Think black and white sleek cuts, performance tech, and a dash of Mercedes-Petronas teal.

George Russell is already on board with the new look, emphasizing its impact beyond aesthetics.

“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,” commented the Briton.

“Their knowledge, expertise, and attention to detail is something that is 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.”

Meanwhile, rising star Kimi Antonelli is savoring the moment.

“The first time I wore the new kit with my teammates is a moment I will remember forever. I can't wait to look out into the stands and see the fans wearing it too.”

A legendary team meets a legendary brand – 2025 is looking fast, fierce, and fashionable.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
