Y-3 and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team have unveiled their new collaboration, and the campaign imagery shot by Jordan Hemingway makes the case before a single seam is inspected. The advertisement places George Russell, Kimi Antonelli, and team principal Toto Wolff inside an environment of suspending sparks, billowing smoke, and the particular amber-to-black light that belongs to motorsport at its most cinematic.
Y-3 x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Capsule
The Y-3 x Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team collection is as much about the mythology of racing as it is about the clothes themselves. At the center of that mythology sits the wolf.
The graphic motif, rooted in Japanese cultural symbolism as a guardian animal representing speed and instinct, traces its lineage to an artwork that appeared on the adidas F50 Tunit football cleat back in 2006, a detail that gives the collaboration a real archive.
The snarling wolf appears across team jerseys, a jacket back, and on a full balaclava that covers the face with the animal’s open jaws, worn here over a Mercedes-AMG zip track top bearing Yohji Yamamoto’s signature.
The capsule, which first appeared during Y-3’s fall-winter 2026 Paris Fashion Week presentation, arrives in full on March 19th, with the entire Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 team set to wear it at the Japanese Grand Prix on the Suzuka circuit.
