PUMA x McLaren Mastercard F1 Team Replica Collection now in Malaysia, priced from RM199

PUMA Southeast Asia brings the excitement of Singapore race week to fans with the launch of the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team Replica Collection, a race-week exclusive designed for those who want to carry their passion for the team beyond the circuit.

Inspired by the glow of the Singapore Night Race, the collection captures the unmistakable spirit of McLaren through a range of pieces made to be worn trackside and beyond. From signature team details and distinctive blue tones inspired by the race’s energy to traditional patterns that celebrate Southeast Asian heritage.

Drawing inspiration from Sino-Portuguese architecture and its distinctive Art Deco influences across the region, the designs reinterpret traditional craft motifs from Indonesian batik, Thailand’s Mudmee weaving, Vietnamese brocade, Malaysian batik, Philippine traditional weaves and Peranakan tile designs.

Blending these culturally significant elements with the contemporary appeal of the jersey silhouette, PUMA creates a distinctive collection that celebrates regional identity through a modern racing lens.

Available from 5 October, just in time for race week, the collection offers fans a new way to wear their allegiance with pride. Whether cheering from the grandstands or bringing the racing spirit into everyday life, each piece is designed to make that connection feel personal.

The collection is anchored by the Replica Polo, offering a refined, off-track take on the team’s racing identity. The Replica Tee brings the energy of the paddock into a more casual silhouette, while the Baseball Cap completes the look with a signature finishing touch. Together, the pieces offer fans a versatile way to celebrate their team, whether they’re heading to the circuit or carrying the race-week spirit into the streets.

Priced from RM199, the PUMA x McLaren Mastercard F1 Team Replica Collection is available in Malaysia starting 5 October 2026, at PUMA.com, and selected PUMA stores.

F1 teams excited to return to Sepang Circuit – MAM President

The last time the Sepang International Circuit hosted the prestigious sport of Formula One was in 2017 since its introduction to the country in 1999.

Despite not being revved up by the roar of F1 engines for quite some time, the circuit still remains a favorite among some drivers, besides being a common mention on social media every time the name Sepang International Circuit is brought up.

Berita Harian reported that the President of the Motorsports Association of Malaysia (MAM), Tan Sri Mokhzani Mahathir, revealed that the sport could be reintroduced at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit, but emphasized that something fresher needs to be introduced.

Among the changes that could be made is to host races at night.

He also revealed that several F1 teams currently competing are excited at the prospect of the race being brought back to the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit.

“Perhaps if we have the opportunity to be organizers once again, we need to make a difference. F1 is no longer just about watching 20 cars race on the track, it is more than that now.

“We need complementary events to enhance the Grand Prix races both on the track and in the capital during race week. Conferences and concerts have now become part of the F1 race week.

“We could also organize races at night using lighting and it would be cooler. Bahrain has already done this from day races to night races and it proves that it is not impossible to do.”

However, Mokhzani emphasized that reorganizing F1 in Malaysia is not an easy task as it requires very high costs.

Lewis Hamilton to drive for Ferrari in 2025?

1 Comment

The recent news surrounding Formula One (F1) has been plentiful. Following the rumors of Petronas aiming to bring F1 back to Sepang, there are now reports suggesting that Lewis Hamilton is set to drive for the Ferrari team next year.

The seven-time world champion is reported to have agreed to move from Mercedes-AMG Petronas to Scuderia Ferrari for the 2025 season. This news has been widely publicized by major news outlets such as Autosport and PlanetF1.

Hamilton, who will be approaching 40 years old by 2025, is expected to partner with Charles Leclerc, who recently signed a contract with Ferrari last week.

While Hamilton still has a contract with Mercedes until the end of 2025, it seems that the second year of the contract is merely an option for him to take.

As of now, it has not been confirmed whether Hamilton has indeed signed a contract with the Italian giant. Ferrari and Mercedes have both declined to provide any comments regarding this development.

BBC Sport has begun reporting that they have confirmed the move as a “strong possibility.”

Hamilton has dominated the F1 sport with Mercedes in the turbo hybrid era, securing six out of seven championships and eight constructor titles with the team.

The news of Hamilton’s transfer has been a sensation for the past few years. We eagerly anticipate further developments, and we will report as soon as we receive the latest updates on this matter.
