Slawn’s work is unlike anything we’ve seen in Formula 1, 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.
The incorporation of Slawn’s avant-garde style is intended to capture both the speed and spirit of the sport visually.
