What Mercedes revealed for Austin
Mercedes revealed two different race suits for George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, one for each driver, ahead of the United States Grand Prix in Austin. The team shared the designs on Instagram this week, together with Mercedes-AMG Motorsport.
Russell’s suit is light blue, while Antonelli’s is dark navy blue. Both carry a geometric pattern of angled blue stripes down the legs, and Russell’s name appears on his leg. Sponsor logos on the suits include PETRONAS, Microsoft, UBS, INEOS and Meta AI.
A Texas-themed photo shoot
The reveal was staged as a Texas-style shoot, with both drivers posing in cowboy hats and black leather western boots. The Mercedes star and the “Manufaktur” script are embroidered on the boots, and the number 63 appears on Russell’s boot.
The shoot took place in a western-wear store and on the streets of Austin, alongside Mercedes-AMG road cars. One photo shows both drivers, in casual clothes, in front of a mural reading “AMG — I LOVE Manufaktur SO MUCH.”
How Mercedes presented the suits
Mercedes presented the suits as a customisation story, describing them as “120 years of customisation, evolved.” The team’s captions also nodded to the Austin setting with the line “You gotta match the vibe when you’re in Austin.”
