Be the ‘best of the rest’ in this Renault Formula 1 white 100% cotton polo shirt made by Le Coq Sportif. It’s as subtle as F1 merchandise gets and the Le Coq Sportif badging gives it a distinctively French look, and the fetching stripe is a stylish nod to the yellowest F1 car on the grid.
From £70 – Renault
This is Formula 1 merchandise without the bevy of badges, sporting a livery reminiscent of Red Bull’s testing paintscheme. Sure, we only saw the camouflaged Red Bull RB15 in that scheme for a week, but it was definitely one of the more memorable looks from preseason testing. Made by Puma, this jacket is made for the rain and carries both Red Bull and Aston Martin branding.
From £100 – Fanatics
This LEGO Ford Mustang is made of 1471 pieces and you can ‘customise’ it with a few numberplates, a supercharger, side exhausts, rear axle height, and more parts.

From £119.99 – LEGO
