Kids F1 Merchandise Guide: Sizes, Caps and Gifts

Quick answer: the best F1 merchandise for kids is a junior team tee or polo, a kids driver cap with a smaller adjustable fit, and a toy they can play with, such as a LEGO F1 car or a Hot Wheels model. Kids teamwear is sized by age, so check the chart and size up if they are growing fast.

How kids sizing works

Sizes go by age: kids teamwear is labelled by age range rather than S, M and L. Use the child's height and chest measurement against the chart rather than age alone.
Measure the child, not the shirt: the chart shows body measurements, just like adult sizing. Our size guide explains how to measure.
Size up for growing kids: if they are between two sizes, the bigger one will last a season longer.
Kids caps are smaller: junior caps have a smaller crown and an adjustable strap. Adult caps are usually too big for young children.

Choosing a gift they will love

Start with their favourite driver or team. Younger kids usually prefer something they can play with, like a Hot Wheels car or a LEGO set, while older kids want what the drivers wear: a team tee and a driver cap. Matching sets with a parent are popular on race weekends. For older children who already collect, a 1:43 model car or a 1:5 mini helmet is a great first display piece.
