Gentlemen, start your engines: The Formula 1 Grand Pix is in full swing and it’s time to spend accordingly.
The single-seater racing tournament, sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile and held in several nations around the world, got underway in Bahrain last week, with Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen emerging victorious. This Sunday, the series moves to Saudi Arabia, where motorsport fans will be eager to see if their team of choice can reach the finish line in record time.
Drivers such as Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Alpine-Renault’s Peirre Gasly are all in attendance aligned blasting across a race track at top speeds surrounded by cheering spectators wearing a colorful mix of colors and logos showing their loyalty. Indeed, the exciting event attracts a huge global audience, and like any other sport, it has its own lingo, its own legends and its own wild fanbase who dress the part and are dedicated memorabilia collectors.
Do you know someone like this, someone who worships at the altar of Hamilton? Someone who still can’t get over the chaos that was the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix? Or are you a card-carrying member of the F1 hive? Whatever the case, consider this round-up – consisting of pieces ranging from authentic polos and jackets in each team’s colors to tomes and rare prints of historic races – to be the ultimate pit stop for Formula 1 merch.
If you’re looking to delve into F1 history, or you’re new to the sport and looking for the 411, this comprehensive – and eye-catching – illustrated book by veteran sportswriter Brad Spurgeon will get you up to speed.
