Formula 1 might be the ultimate test of the world’s fastest racing drivers, but racegoers are also partaking in their own competition: who is styling out the grandstands best. With celebrities flocking from all over the world to witness the likes of Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, and Lewis Hamilton zooming round the track, the stands have fast become the new FROW, with celebs really dressing for the occasion.
This year, Naomi Campbell, Patrick Dempsey, and Dua Lipa attended the Monaco Grand Prix, while Timothée Chalamet, Simone Ashley, and Lisa Manobal were spotted at the Miami Grand Prix. For Formula 1 aficionados who are style-conscious to their core, there was one accessory everyone was carrying: the Carl Friedrik x Atlassian Williams Racing travel collection.
A powerhouse collaboration between two British brands, Carl Friedrik and Atlassian Williams Racing have developed a travel range that combines style and craftsmanship. Sleek, versatile and durable, the collection features a carry-on case and a stylish backpack that can be used separately and together. Why does the fashion elite love it? Because beyond the incredibly functional use (and lifetime guarantee), the timeless design is the epitome of quiet luxury. True style extends beyond the carefully selected race-day outfit, it’s in every purchase – from the airport to the F1 stands.
