It wasn't just about the cars at The Miami F1 Grand Prix. Both from Italy, Palm Angels and the American F1 Team spent the weekend renewing their commitment to collaboration, creativity, and each other.
When our Editor-in-chief sat across from the Palm Angels' artistic director, Francesco Ragazzi, he confirmed: "Collaboration isn't just about the product. It's about really understanding each other's worlds." It was the morning before the big race — and most notably the second year of a three-year deal with the MoneyGram Haas F1 team — the only American team on the grid. (The partnership is inclusive but not necessarily limited to the Palm Angels logo on Haas's VF-23 car, branded driver uniforms, an intimately logofied garage and, our personal favorite, a racewear capsule collection).
"I really respect Formula 1 and how we've been able to work together. And for our brand, F1 has taught us to really think about performance."
Ragazzi continues, reflecting on the partnership. "I respect the sport so much, and it's such an honor to come together in this meaningful way."
Of course, the race was excellent, too. Style icons like OBJ and Rocky roamed around freely. And even with the buzz from Mclaren's 24-year-old Lando Norris's very first win, the collaboration between Palm Angels and the American F1 Team was what everyone stylish wanted to gather around.
