Visa Cash App RB will run a special livery in F1 British GP in support of Nigerian artist Slawn, as Williams to run a tweaked livery too.
Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula One Team and their partner HUGO have launched a brand-new collaboration with Nigerian artist, Slawn, uniting the lines of sport, fashion and art once again with a special livery for the British GP. Revealed by Slawn, Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar at the Flannels X store in London this evening, the collaboration sees the Team’s 2025 ‘VCARB 02’ car become the latest canvas for his caricature style street art, which will also be seen across various touch points across the Silverstone race weekend.
Slawn’s artwork goes beyond the track as it transcends into the driver’s race suits and the team’s kit. Slawn will also be in the paddock on Thursday designing the garage IRL, alongside Liam and Isack. Slawn has established his name in the London art landscape with his famed graffiti aesthetic, rooted in his Yoruba heritage and London’s urban culture. His work challenges traditional art norms and thrives on hype and disruption, making it a perfect synergy between VCARB and HUGO.
This isn’t the first time Slawn has blended his bold-line work and street art flair into the world of sport, after he recently designed the Emirates FA Cup Trophy in May this year. Peter Bayer, CEO of VCARB, said: “Slawn’s work is unlike anything we’ve seen in Formula One, and that’s exactly why this collaboration felt right. Partnering with HUGO and Slawn has allowed us to push creative boundaries in a way that reflects the bold identity of our team. Silverstone is a massive moment in the season, and we’re proud to bring something completely original to our fans.”
Slawn commented: “Art meets speed, and I brought the madness. Big love to HUGO and VCARB for trusting the vision.”
James Foster, SVP of Global Marketing at HUGO BOSS said: “Witnessing the big reveal of Slawn’s fresh, energetic art on the VCARB Team’s new livery and his exciting takeover will consolidate HUGO’s ambition to take F1™ further off-track and into culture. This collaboration is a brilliant demonstration of the power of going your own way, which is at the core of HUGO and VCARB’s DNA. All eyes will be on VCARB during the action at Silverstone.”
