F1 Ampersand Shirts With 50s, 60s, & 70s Drivers

Ah, yes. The iconic ampersand or "&" shirt. These kind of shirts got their start in Amsterdam circa 2001, when a clever designed incorporated the Beatles names (John & Paul & George & Ringo). These days, the ampersand shirt has achieved cult status and is used to reference just about everything. And now, thanks to Harlo at the Chicane Blog, they reference famous drivers from three different decades of Formula One. Drivers from the 50s, 60s, & 70s [...]

Yema Rallygraf Quartz Watch

The Yema Rallygraf is the modern, cheaper version of the Rallye model worn by Mario Andretti when he won the 1969 Indianapolis 500. While the design differs slightly, and the movement is a Seiko quartz-mechanical hybrid rather than Swiss mechanical movement, it's also considerably cheaper. Instead of the thousands you'd pay for a Rallye, the Rallygraf gives you the same amount of cool at a fraction of the cost - only $350. When it comes to retro, racing-inspired [...]

Goodyear Podium Hat Used During 70s, 80s, & 90s

This Goodyear Podium hat resembles the ones worn by the greatest racing drivers from the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. F1 champions like Mario Andretti, Ayrton Senna, Niki Lauda, and Alain Prost wore them on the podiums of the world's greatest circuits. There are pictures of IndyCar giants like Rick Mears, AJ Foyt, and the Unsers also wearing one. In NASCAR, drivers like Bobby Allison were seen wearing this Goodyear after the 1988 Goodyear 500 in Australia. And [...]

2020 Mercedes-AMG F1 Team Jacket

This is the new official 2020 F1 Team Lightweight Padded Jacket from the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, and it looks incredible. The 100% nylon construction is reminiscent of those great Style Auto and Swingster racing jackets from the 70s and 80s. The jacket features the teams’ sponsors on the front, arms, and back. While the red, white, and blue stripes of sponsor Tommy Hilfiger decorate the cuff of each arm, and the back/inside of the jacket’s collar. [...]

1961 Monaco Grand Prix Shirt

We really like this 1961 Monaco Grand Prix shirt designed by the user VintageRacing on TeePublic. It features the top three finishers from the 1961 event, which has gone down as a classic in the history of Formula 1. The 1961 Monaco Grand Prix The ’61 Monaco GP is Sir Stirling Moss’s greatest drive of his career (even Moss himself admits it). Moss drove in the increasingly obsolete Lotus-Climax campaigned by Rob Walker, which was significantly underpowered in [...]

Heel Tread Racing-Inspired Novelty Socks

After years of novelty socks that depict owls, sloths, coffee cups, and other modern obsessions, there’s finally some intended for the racing fan. Heel Tread (clever name, no?) designs take influence from iconic cars and racing liveries, such as the Mazda 787B seen in our featured image. Other favorites of ours include designs based off the Lotus 49 F1 car from the 1960s, Senna’s helmet, the tartan “Clark Plaid” seats found in the GTI, and of course the [...]

Mario Andretti 50th Anniversary STP Tee

Surprisingly, Mario Andretti won the Indy 500 only once during his career. The year was 1969, exactly 50 years ago, and the Lotus he originally planned to drive had failed significantly during practice. After a heavy 150mph impact that bruised and burned the Italian-American, the only car left was “The Hawk” – a Brabham chassis clone that mechanic Clint Brawner had modified. The car had served him well a month before in a race at Hanford, and Andretti [...]
