Formula 1 is all set to make a return to the streets of Las Vegas this weekend for the first time in 41 years, and to say that everyone involved is excited about it would be an understatement.
(function($){ $(window).on("resize", function(){ var sid = "35"; var object = $(".bsaProContainer-" + sid + " .bsaProItemInner__img"); var animateThumb = $(".bsaProContainer-" + sid + " .bsaProAnimateThumb"); var innerThumb = $(".bsaProContainer-" + sid + " .bsaProItemInner__thumb"); var parentWidth = "970"; var parentHeight = "250"; var objectWidth = object.width(); if ( objectWidth < parentWidth ) { var scale = objectWidth / parentWidth; if ( objectWidth > 0 && objectWidth != 100 && scale > 0 ) { animateThumb.height(parentHeight * scale); innerThumb.height(parentHeight * scale); object.height(parentHeight * scale); } else { animateThumb.height(parentHeight); innerThumb.height(parentHeight); object.height(parentHeight); } } else { animateThumb.height(parentHeight); innerThumb.height(parentHeight); object.height(parentHeight); } }); $(document).ready(function(){ $(".bsaProItemInner__img").trigger("resize"); }); })(jQuery);
To mark the occasion, the Scuderia AlphaTauri cars raced by Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo will feature a special livery which will look incredible under the floodlights of this night race as the cars hurtle down the iconic Las Vegas Strip. Continuing the nighttime theme, the uniform will be retained for the following weekend’s season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The design, featuring white speed streaks flowing down the bodywork, is inspired by the AlphaTauri x Brendan Monroe Las Vegas Capsule Collection. Monroe is a Californian artist and muralist who signed the special livery at a fantastic launch event last night at the Intrigue Lounge, one of Las Vegas’ hottest nightspots. The unisex collection includes a down vest, two hoodies, and two T-shirts. Accessories include a cap, a bucket hat and a belt bag. All products are adorned with a specially designed print inspired by Brendan Monroe’s Black Matte Night Spiral design. It features the artist’s characteristic style and is presented in his signature black/white colour palette.
“I was so excited to have the opportunity to work with AlphaTauri,” said Brendan. “Working together with the creative team at a fashion brand inspired me. They were instrumental in our collaboration from start to finish, and they’ve produced so many beautiful pieces for this special capsule collection.”
