Iconic Track. Iconic Look

“We’re also hopeful that the exciting racing we saw in Melbourne and Shanghai will continue in Japan,” says Toto.

“Suzuka is one of the world’s great race tracks but it has, in recent years, been a difficult place to overtake. Hopefully under these new regulations we can put on a good show for the fans.

“Finally, we will be sporting an edgy look for this weekend’s race.

“As a team, we continue to lead the way in blending our sport and wider culture and that is reflected in our work with Y-3’s legendary Japanese designer, Yohji Yamamoto.

“It is fitting that his collection will be seen on the team trackside, plus his designs on the drivers’ overalls and helmets, and on the W17 itself.

“It is a significant honour to partner on such a collaboration with Y-3, becoming only the third sports team after the Japanese national football team and Real Madrid to do so, and I’m sure it will prove to be an iconic one.”
