The 2025 F1 season is edging closer and F1 events are already underway. Which means that one of Mercedes’ latest hires, its fashion manager, has been busy at work keeping the team’s two drivers, George Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli, looking good. “She [the stylist] doesn’t pick my outfit every day, but she sends me some ideas,” Antonelli said.
“Actually, my mum is also my stylist,” the F1 rookie admits. “Most of the time she doesn’t like the combination I wear — she’s always fixing my clothes. Sometimes when we’re about to go out for dinner with my family she says, ‘Oh no, you need to go change.’ So she’s my proper stylist.” Antonelli and his mother are even redesigning his wardrobe to accommodate a shipment of the team’s new Adidas-made gear — a half-dozen overflowing boxes-worth, which recently arrived at his doorstep.
