Mercedes, in partnership with Bad Bunny and Adidas, has announced the launch of the Bad Bunny Adiracer G, alongside the debut of the Bad Bunny Motorsport collection.

The collaboration follows Mercedes bringing Formula 1 to Puerto Rico earlier this year.

As part of the partnership, Bad Bunny joins the German motorsport outfit as a member of the team. The collaboration features the Adiracer GT, which made its debut at Adidas Originals. Team drivers George Russell, Kimi Antonelli, Valtteri Bottas, and Fred Vesti all wore pieces from the collection in the paddock on Thursday.

The collaboration between Mercedes, Bad Bunny, and Adidas amplifies the shared spirit of innovation that unites all three parties.

Earlier, Mercedes and Bad Bunny took the spotlight when the Brackley-based outfit hit the streets of Puerto Rico in August for a show run. The partnership also underscores a trailblazing energy that bridges the intersection of culture and sport, driven by a relentless pursuit of aesthetic evolution.

The announcement further detailed that the Bad Bunny Adiracer GT and Motorsport Collection will be available globally in November 2025.

Russell speaks on Red Bull’s tape gate

Earlier, Russell also weighed in on the tape-tinkering situation involving Red Bull at the United States Grand Prix.

The British driver joked he would have replicated the act of the Red Bull staff member, before stating he doesn't think the team need to employ such gamesmanship to clinch the title.

At the race in Austin, a member of the Red Bull team reportedly attempted to take out a tape mark on the grid wall, which was meant to aid Lando Norris in hitting his mark on the starting grid.
