Mercedes drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli discuss new Adidas partnership
Towards the beginning of January, it was announced that Adidas would be entering into a multi-year partnership with the Mercedes F1 team to create the organization's apparel and footwear for fans, drivers, engineers and mechanics. With the reveal of the race suits, George Russell and Kimi Antonelli spoke about how their new partnership is going to be beneficial to the team's efforts this season.
Highlighting their experience working with athletes, Russell said:
“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. 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."
“We’re hugely excited to work with adidas as a team, and personally, as I look forward to my first season in F1, it feels even more special and I’m so glad to be working with a partner who truly understands the athlete’s mindset. The first time I wore the new kit with my teammates is a moment I will remember forever, and I can’t wait to look out into the stands and see the fans wearing it too," Antonelli added.
George Russell and Kimi Antonelli will be in their Mercedes race suits for the season opener in Melbourne, Australia, from March 14 to 16 for their first foray into the 2025 season.
