13 Gifts For the Ultimate Formula 1 Fan in Your Life
If you have a Formula 1 fan in your life, you know how passionate they can be about the global motorsport. From trying to convince you to watch Netflix's "Drive to Survive" to sending you hilarious clips of the drivers, their love for the sport truly goes beyond the circuit. Although it may be tough to score tickets to a race, the next best thing is getting them a gift that celebrates their love for all things F1. To help you find some of the coolest, most unique picks, I rounded up the best gifts you can give the ultimate F1 fan. And I've been to a total of four Grands Prix so far (with the latest being Miami, courtesy of MSC Cruises) — so I've seen my fair share of souvenirs.
I can promise that F1 is becoming one of the world's most stylish sports, so nothing feels more appropriate than some cute gear. Instead of sponsor-heavy merch, I found some stylish pieces from designer collaborations (hello, Disney x F1!), Abercrombie's vintage-inspired line, and even some cheeky picks from Etsy. Plus, there's a pair of street-inspired sneakers, so your giftee can look as fashion-forward as Lewis Hamilton. Shopping for an avid reader? You can get them a stylish, leather-bound coffee table book about the 70-year history of the high-octane sport or the former Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner's iconic book "Surviving to Drive: A Year Inside Formula 1."
Whether they're #TeamRedBull or #TeamMercedes, there's no doubt that they'll appreciate these gifts. Shop our top picks ahead, then check out the Secret Teller interviews I conducted during race weekend with world-famous athletes at the track and Jessica Hawkins, Head of F1 Academy for Aston Martin.

"Surviving to Drive: A Year Inside Formula 1" by Guenther Steiner ($14, originally $29)
Steiner is Haas F1's former team principal, but he's mostly known for his bluntness and unforgettable personality on Netflix's "Drive to Survive." If you're shopping for the F1 fan who got into the sport because of the show, this book is something they need to read ASAP. In this book, Steiner talks about the 2022 season and what went down behind the scenes. This is the first time an acting team principal has written a book about a whole season they were a part of.

Popsugar Popsugar 9ft Jump Rope ($14)
Let's be real — many F1 fans are athletes, too. Whether they travel the world like me to catch Grands Prix and need a solution for a gym-less hotel or just like to feel badass getting in a workout and channeling their favorite driver, provide them with the ultimate gym kit for race weekend. Of course, you can make them extra happy by tossing in a pack of Red Bull Summer Edition Sudachi Lime Energy Drink (Pack of 24) ($61) for the ultimate fuel. Verstappen fans will thank you endlessly for this touch.

Fernando Alonso T-Shirt ($15, originally $18)
The Formula 1 fan in your life was probably aware of the supposed dating rumors between driver Fernando Alonso and Taylor Swift. This Eras Tour-inspired T-shirt, which comes in a variety of colors, is a cheeky gift that they'll truly adore — and get a laugh out of. Plus, if they're a Swiftie, you've hit two fandoms with one meaningful gift. You can shop more gifts for Taylor Swift fans here.

Popsugar Waist Pack ($25)
If they're big enough fans to catch a race, they definitely know about the bag requirements for getting into the stadium, and this waist pack will definitely fit size restrictions. Some sites have clear bag policies, in which case, I also highly recommend the Bagail Stadium Approved Clear Tote Bag ($9, originally $10). They'll appreciate having essentials like these on hand when packing.

"Oh Nothing Just an Inchident" Dad Hat ($32)
If you're shopping for a Charles Leclerc fan, they'll adore this Dad Hat. Most F1 fans are familiar with young Leclerc being asked about an incident on the race track involving Max Verstappen. And when a reporter asked what had happened, Leclerc responded, "Oh nothing, just an inchident," creating one of the most famous F1 memes. The cap comes in a bunch of different colors, but we recommend the red to match Ferrari.

Monte Carlo Circuit De Monaco Sweatshirt ($44)
You can never go wrong with a cozy sweatshirt, especially as the weather gets cooler. This one is inspired by the Monaco Grand Prix, with the circuit depicted underneath and the sectors and DRS zones highlighted. You can get this in a variety of colors as well.
:upscale()/2026/05/07/679/n/49352476/9c1e5f2869fcad3537eff9.51650780_KIC_122-5655.jpeg)
Abercrombie & Fitch McLaren Full-Zip Hoodie ($50, originally $100)
Abercrombie is stepping into the F1 mania via partnerships with the teams. The brand has vintage-inspired graphic T-shirts and sweatshirts featuring iconic cars and races. This is a super trendy gift for the McLaren fan in your life.

Beats Studio Buds ($90, originally $150)
You may be wondering why a random pair of earbuds are in this guide. Well, it's because the Beats Studio Buds are the go-to earbuds for Daniel Ricciardo. If you're shopping for the ultimate Ricciardo fan, getting them a pair of these pods is subtle and functional. They're noise-canceling with eight hours of listening time (and much more with the pocket-size carrying case). Plus, they're water-resistant and come in other colors as well. Read our review of the Beats Studio Buds.
Editor Quote: "I love how comfortable these earbuds feel. They come with three silicone ear-tip sizes so you can choose your best fit. I prefer the default or medium-size ones. Each earbud fits perfectly in my ear, almost like it was a missing puzzle piece. Plus, you can twist it up or down to get an even more secure and comfortable fit. Whether I'm busy at work, running errands, working out, or running around NYC, these earbuds do not fall out. They don't feel excessively tight or give that suction feeling either." — Anvita Reddy, former assistant shopping editor

Off Season F1 Cream Sleeveless Twist Tank Top ($90) and Off Season F1 Red Full-Zip Cropped Track Jacket Corset ($195)
Get them something stylish and sporty like this twisted asymmetrical tank and corseted track jacket from Off Season's Formula 1 collection. Both pieces embody paddock style with their red, white, and black colorblock design. This is perfect for those who love to pull off a street-chic look.
Editor Quote: "I love how many fashion brands are leaning into F1, given how stylish the sport is. I got so many compliments on my tank wearing it out in Miami — the unique design elements certainly give a classic jersey or team hoodie a run for their money." — Sarah Wasilak, shopping director

Adidas Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team Barreda Decode Shoes ($100)
Whether they're a sneakerhead or a Mercedes AMG Petronas fan, we can all agree these are some stylish sneakers. These unisex shoes are perfect for the fashion-forward fan, especially if they want to emulate Kimi Antonelli. The white sneakers have the iconic teal detailing to match the team's colors, plus a Mercedes emblem on the back.

Disney x Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix Pullover Hoodie ($150)
If you're a Disney adult and F1 fan like me, then you know how iconic this streetwear collaboration, led by Bobby Kim, has become. I'm a big fan of the new Miami pieces — the hoodie is so soft and comfortable, and is available in both black and white. As per usual, the creative teams nailed it when it came to the color palette and graphics. Whether they show off the merch at the Disney parks or race track, folks will be asking them, "Where did you get that?".

Elevate their home with a stylish and bold decor piece like this "F1 Heroes" coffee table book. It lets them display their favorite sport without looking too cheesy. Plus, the book has 70 years of racing history, including pictures from races, engineering feats, and so much more.
