Genuine 2018 Force India F1 Team-Issue Sponsor Cover Patches – Pit Crew Race Suits – Rare

Genuine 2018 Force India F1 Team-Issue Sponsor Cover Patches – Pit Crew Race Suits – Rare

A fascinating and highly unusual piece of Force India F1 Team history, these genuine team-used patches were applied to pit crew race suits during the 2018 Formula 1 season to cover sponsor branding that was no longer associated with the team.

Rather than simply removing or replacing the existing branding, Force India personnel used strong double-sided tape to blank out the previous sponsor logos, creating these distinctive patches and leaving a visible record of the team's changing sponsorship arrangements during the season.

These patches were used on pit crew race suits, making them a particularly unusual form of Formula 1 team memorabilia. They provide an authentic insight into the practical realities of a Formula 1 team operating through a changing commercial environment.
