Promoted: How a bespoke race suit is made

By:

Autosport went to see the factory where Lewis Hamilton's race suits are produced and found a cottage industry pushing for perfection

A conflict with the country's health department meant Ferrari had to ditch its Mission Winnow branding for the 2019 Australian Grand Prix. The cars of Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc instead ran decals celebrating the marque's 90th anniversary, which was a set of straightforward alterations to the livery.

Puma, on the other hand, faced a much larger task. As the manufacturer of the team's clothing, the drivers and all of the engineers required new racesuits flown out to the Southern Hemisphere in under two weeks.
