According to a press release from the team, the design pairs “the lines of sport, fashion, and art.” The livery features Slawn’s “famed graffiti aesthetic, rooted in his Yoruba heritage and London’s urban culture. His work challenges traditional art norms and thrives on hype and disruption, making it a perfect synergy between VCARB and HUGO.”
“Slawn’s work is unlike anything we’ve seen in Formula One, and that’s exactly why this collaboration felt right,” said Peter Bayer, VCARB’s Chief Executive Officer. Partnering with HUGO and Slawn has allowed us to push creative boundaries in a way that reflects the bold identity of our team. Silverstone is a massive moment in the season, and we’re proud to bring something completely original to our fans.”
“Art meets speed, and I brought the madness,” said Slawn. “Big love to HUGO and VCARB for trusting the vision.”
The designs will also be featured on the race suits worn by both Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar this weekend, as well as the entire team’s kit:
