What is your opinion over the sooo overpriced merch? I, as a student just cannot justify the crazy amount of money, they want for a simple t-shirt... And also, I've seen people on Twitter complaining over poor quality as well.
Never been able to afford anything else than a hat, its super overpriced.... but it not Mclaren only, all of them (F1 teams) are the same when it comes to the official gear/merch...

I remember when I went to Budapest to watch the Hungarian GP back in 2012, they asked for a kidney in return for a team t-shirt :mrgreen:

I found nice cheap jackets in Phuket... The originals are way outpriced...

Imagine me with South Africa's Sh*t currency... 1 Pound = 21 Rand... :oops:

F1 merch has always carried a steep premium, just how it is.
I'm well aware that merch is a "premium" item and I am prepared to pay a bit more but 41€ for a plain t-shirt is just greedy to be honest. (+shipping)

I don’t disagree, it overpriced but most F1 fans will buy it anyway, and that is what they are counting on.

QNTMPAY is on the right sleeve of the new team kit so must have signed an upgraded deal, I guess to be announced

The sky high prices aren’t that surprising, but the poor quality is something that is extremely disappointing, last year’s merchandise had similar issues (I won one of the Gulf hoodies and I’m not wearing for fear of it getting damaged, lol)… At the price point they have, you expect a very high level of quality.

They are collaborating since 2015, this is probably just extension in their supply of Mclaren models.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

They’re not that bad quality, I still go running in my 16 year old McLaren T-shirts

It's definitely a Richard Mille watch, but I couldn't tell you the exact model.

Whatever it is, you can be sure it has a pretty hefty price tag (wouldn't be surprised if this was in the mid 6 figure range). Highly likely that Richard Mille provides them for "free" to McLaren drivers for sponsorship/marketing reasons though.

Sweet!

I just bought my Melbourne Grand Prix weekend GA pass. Unfortunately I left it way too late to get grandstand tickets.

Still I’m pumped to see the new Mclaren in the flesh!
Nice work! I'll probably just do the usual Sat qualli out with all the plebs and then watch it on TV on Sunday! Can't wait to get back to Albert Park and also see these new changes! That reminds me I need to book some leave at work so I can vege out on the couch and watch Friday practice too lol
