Mercedes F1 puts its viral silver jacket on sale to fans

Mercedes F1’s viral silver jacket is now available to fans. George Russell and Kimi Antonelli wore it during the hottest weekends of the season while working around the garages and paddocks. Its metallic finish stood out from the team’s standard kit, quickly catching supporters’ attention and leaving them keen to get one for themselves.

That interest has now turned into a retail release: Mercedes’ marketing teams quickly created a version that fans can buy. The jacket is no longer limited to the drivers, with supporters also able to get hold of the model made available to the public.

The Motorsport Instagram post devoted to the launch at the end of September carried the caption: “The jacket everyone has been waiting for”. The versions are available through Mercedes stores, giving fans a way to own the distinctive piece seen on Russell and Antonelli. Attention around the garment has therefore led to a commercial offering for supporters.
