McLaren has launched an Austin-themed capsule and a larger 2025 constructors’ champions collection ahead of the United States GP
McLaren has released two merchandise collections as the Formula 1 circus arrives in Austin for the United States Grand Prix. With the city-themed capsule dropping alongside a constructors' champions range, fans of the papaya-coloured team have plenty to enjoy as they head to COTA.
The Austin drop offers T-shirts in light 'egret' and dark 'phantom' colourways, both boasting striping on the sleeves. On top of this, a 'burnt orange' hoodie wearing a large 'Austin!' wordmark and a relaxed sweatshirt in 'egret' round out the collection. The graphics lean into the Texas fun, with a stylised graphic of a cowboy boot being the main theme that runs through three of the four pieces of clothing.
Pricing is steep as expected, with the tees costing £50, the hoodie £75 and the sweatshirt £70.
McLaren's 2025 Constructors' Champions Collection is much larger, with the capsule offering T-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies, jackets, and even a poster to celebrate its 10th constructors' championship in F1. Colours unsurprisingly revolve around papaya orange, but black and white tees also feature with a roll call of title-deciding venues - the latest, of course, being the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix where the team sealed its latest championship win.
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown was delighted following the strenuous night race, as he described the back-to-back wins as being “everything I could have dreamt of and hoped for – it’s everything that we’ve all worked very hard to achieve.”
“It looked easy when you're 16, 17 years old and watching it on TV,” he said in an interview with his team. “Now, I appreciate what a monster achievement it is.
“It's an absolutely amazing accomplishment by the whole team at McLaren.”

Starting at £40 for the T-shirts and reaching £142 for a longline padded jacket (down from £190), the Champions Collection is also on the steeper side. But this historic moment is illustrated beautifully in a poster, priced at £68, that features both drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, as well as a graphic denoting the years the team won the constructors' championship.
"For McLaren, the 2025 season was more than just a victory, it was a statement," the description reads. "Nearly 50 years after their first constructors’ crown in 1974, the team added a tenth championship title to their legendary tally. From the glory days of 1988 and 1989 with Senna and Prost, through the dominant streak of the late ’90s, McLaren has always been synonymous with innovation and excellence.
"The 2025 campaign carried that heritage forward, proving that the papaya team still defines what it means to win at the highest level."
