George Russell and Kimi Antonelli roll into Miami GP in adidas car

George Russell and Kimi Antonelli arrived at the Miami Grand Prix in style. The Mercedes drivers rolled into Hard Rock Stadium sporting adidas’ new summer collection, which matched the livery wrapped around their car. 

The rookie, who sat in the passenger seat of the convertible, rocked the brand’s hero drivers jersey and black joggers while Russell donned a t-shirt and beige trousers. The sportswear manufacturer launched its partnership with Mercedes earlier this year and wasted no time releasing a special collection. 

The Miami drop was inspired by the south Florida city’s mangroves - a native shrub rooted in the foundation of the region. The pieces in the collection incorporate a contemporary black graphic of its leaves, alongside shades of coral and burgundy, which were also seen on the car’s special livery. 

Michael Batz, general manager of the motorsport category at adidas, said he and his team wanted to “capture the essence of Miami in a fresh and unexpected way.”

“Miami is one of the most anticipated races on the calendar, a city known for both sport and style, making it the ideal location to debut the first adidas x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 race day collection for Summer 2025,” he said. “This collection is brought to life with bold hues and prints which bring a vibrant splash of Miami style to the F1 paddock this May.”
 
Richard Sanders, chief commercial officer at Mercedes, said the team inked the deal with the sportswear manufacturer earlier this year in order to “bring a fresh perspective” to their team kit and merchandise offerings for fans. 

“Our first race-specific collection delivers on that with its bold design that celebrates the natural roots of Miami,” he said. “Dropping our summer collection at a race that symbolizes so much about how our sport and team has grown and reached new audiences in recent years feels appropriate. We can't wait to see the fans in the grandstands, and those watching around the world, showing their support in the vibrant colors of the summer pack."
 
The adidas x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Summer collection is available to purchase from a section of adidas wholesale accounts and adidas.com/motorsport.
