When two performance powerhouses lock into pole position together, expectations accelerate fast. On 19 February 2026, adidas and Audi Revolut Formula 1 Team officially dropped the visor on their first collaborative teamwear collection. It’s a range engineered with the precision of a race car and the rhythm of a perfectly paced marathon.
This inaugural release isn’t just merchandise; it’s a statement lap before the team even hits the grid. Comprising around 160 pieces across apparel, footwear and accessories, the collection outfits everyone from drivers and engineers to mechanics and fans. This ensures the entire ecosystem moves in sync, like a well-drilled pit crew executing a sub-two-second stop.
Sleek and Aerodynamic
The aesthetic is sleek and aerodynamic. A greyscale palette inspired by titanium tones mirrors the stealth and strength of the team’s challenger, while subtle red accents flash like brake lights at the end of a straight. It’s controlled aggression beneath refined minimalism. Clean lines and sophisticated cuts give the range a sharp, streamlined silhouette, equally at home in the paddock or the grandstand.
At the front of the grid stand drivers Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto, whose hero pieces anchor the collection. The collarless driver jersey rides on a monochrome base, accented with light grey three-stripe detailing and red highlights. It’s understated, yet primed for impact.
CLIMACOOL technology
For engineers, the fit runs close and focused, contrasted by oversized puffers and jackets that carry subtle red detailing. This creates a balance between technical discipline and bold presence. Mechanics’ wear leans into utility blacks, charcoal and graphite, featuring strategic zipper construction for increased pocket space. Integrated CLIMACOOL technology ensures temperature regulation under pressure, because in motorsport, as in distance running, thermal control can mean the difference between fading and finishing strong.
Footwear completes the formation. A bespoke ADIZERO EVO SL in grey and red delivers lightweight propulsion via a Lightstrike Pro midsole. It’s a shoe built to move as effortlessly through the paddock as a racer slicing through clean air.
Michael Batz, Motorsport Category GM at adidas, framed the launch as a defining milestone:
“We are excited to officially mark the start of our journey with Audi Revolut Formula 1 Team, through a full teamwear collection which features adidas’ signature design and best in class technology at the forefront.
“Expertly crafted for the team to introduce themselves to the grid with style, each piece embodies the power, strength, and design of the car to meet the overall build up to and race-day demands. We can’t wait to see it in the paddock and stands across upcoming race weekends!”

Hülkenberg added: “The first time representing two leading icons on the track. Wearing the three stripes next to the four rings is a huge moment, and I’m excited to put on the jersey that has been built with precision and driven forward by adidas’ highest level of technical detailing – meaning it delivers style, functionality and hopefully a lot of speed.”
Bortoleto echoed that momentum: “Working with adidas is an incredible opportunity for our team… Knowing our kit has been crafted with careful thought and tailored to what we require, makes that first moment that I get to wear it, alongside my team, in front of our fans, even more special.”
The range is available from 19 February at adidas.co.za and selected global retailers, ready to take fans from spectator to stakeholder in the race ahead.
