Formula 1 Merchandise

[Rocket36]

The cost makes me LAUGH!!! God knows how most people afford it...

I just bought the following:

1 x Deutsche Vermögensberatung cap
1 x Mercedes Petronas t-shirt
1 x Mercedes Petronas team polo shirt
1 x Mercedes Petronas team button up shirt

Total was $389.80

And Ferrari is more expensive AGAIN!

I don't mind paying it but that doesn't mean it's completely rediculous pricing. It would be interesting to know what percentage of a top team's budget comes from the merchandies.

It has always been like that, been watching f1 since like 93-94, and when i was a kid i always begged my dad to get me caps and stuff, and now i realised why he never wanted to, because i would want one each year and they are bloody expensive!

Back than a cap was $70 already, i haven't bought one for quite some time but yes they are still very expensive.

When i head down to melbourne this weekend, i plan to pick up a red bull shirt, can't wait until my pockets are empty.

On F1 weekend i stay at a place in Melb that's opposite a shop in the CBD that sells all of last years merch as well as the new stuff. Bought a few things there last year at really reasonable prices. Hoping to pick up some 09 merch there on Friday!

Yeah that's what I normally do but since Mercedes haven't had a GP team in 55 years there won't be any of last years stock until next year.

Haha...i'm too cheap to get on board with a new teams merch.

Mercedes GP "shizz" didn't exist a few months ago... Or I would have too.
