Formula 1's crossover into mainstream pop culture continues with Collider's exclusive reveal of a new range of Funko Pop figures depicting Mercedes-AMG Petronas drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli. The launch reflects how F1 drivers have become recognisable celebrity figures well beyond racing, building on the sport's growing presence in fashion and film.

The collection includes Pop! Rides Super Deluxe figures of both Russell and Antonelli seated in detailed replicas of their Mercedes cars, each priced at $34.99 and standing around 4.3 inches tall, complete with the team's black, silver and turquoise livery. A separate, cheaper Pop! Racing figure of Russell in his race suit and helmet will retail for $14.99 and measures roughly 3.9 inches. The releases follow F1's high-profile Hollywood tie-in, the Brad Pitt-led film "F1", directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced with Lewis Hamilton, which was shot during real Grand Prix weekends and helped introduce the sport to new audiences.
