If you are lucky enough to get to a Grand Prix you will find it hard to find somebody who is not wearing something to show that they are a Formula One fan. Nowadays, nearly every single item of clothing can show your allegiance as a fan, and sometimes you will find people wearing a Michael Schumacher cap, a Williams T-shirt, and a Jordan jacket. (A lot of people are very loyal to their drivers or teams, however. Some will kit themselves out entirely with official Michael Schumacher merchandise and buy the same trainers and sunglasses that the German driver wears.) Whether you’re after a T-shirt, shirt, jacket, or cap, you will undoubtedly be able to find one that features your favourite driver or team. Before you part with your hard-earned cash, keep these tips in mind:
- Teams usually have an official colour scheme for the season, but this could change – especially if a new sponsor or new driver is on board. There is always a risk that the jacket you buy one year will be out-ofdate the next – but that is no excuse not to be kitted out with the latest line of clothing.
- Make sure you pick the clothing that features the driver you’re after –because otherwise you could be supporting someone you do not really like. Drivers are given a specific number at the start of the season which they keep for the year, although you always have to be prepared for driver swaps.
- You may want to wait until the first race of the season to see which is the best T-shirt to buy, because then you can see what your hero is wearing himself.
- Some clothing manufacturers also make jackets that look exactly like the top half of a driver’s racing overalls. Just make sure you don’t get mistaken for one of the real stars!
