F1 Team set up involves a two phase process, the logistical construction of the garage and paddock at the track, and the pre-race preparations. The logistical teams arrive days before the race to set up the garage, paddock and motorhomes which can take several days due to the size and complexity, especially at flyaway races where air freight arrives earlier in the week. At the same time engineers and mechanics conduct their operations on best car set up and the actual components are assembles and turned at the track during the days leading up to the first practice sessions. When the race has finished the process is reversed and the tram members change back from Race day clothing into their Hi Vis set up clothing.
As a result the teams introduced the use of Ho Vis T-shirts for the team members involved in both of these processes.
F1 Teams Hi Vis Set Up T-Shirts wear high visibility (hi-vis) set-up shirts to ensure that their drivers and crew members are easily seen on during this period of the race weekend. This is crucial for safety, as visibility is key to preventing accidents and ensuring the team's success. The hi-vis shirts are designed with advanced materials and technology to enhance visibility in various lighting conditions, making them essential for the sport's safety.
Typical within F1 this simple safety item has been turned into a fashion accessory as well as its primary use for safelty, forming part of teams merchandise ranges. The official team wear still remains under the teams designer clothing brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Addidas, Puma and more. These designer labels have ensured the opportunity for creative design, capturing sponsors and team logos without loosing site of its function. A safety design first uded on the railways in the 1990’s has now become a fashion item worn by millions.
