Motor Sport socks
They are a cliché for a reason, and if your Father’s Day gift hunting this year has led you once more to socks, then we’d humbly say that few racing-themed garments are as stylish as our Motor Sport-branded items.
Choose from a black pair featuring curved trails left white single-seaters, or a classic yellow and green combination.
From £10, Motor Sport
Your name on F1’s chequered flag
If you want to push the boat out, make your Dad part of F1 history by adding his name to the chequered flag for one of this year’s races.
His name will be printed on a black or white squares before the flag is waved to mark the finish of one of this year’s races. The square will then be cut out and framed with a picture of the finish, and sent to him.
Prices vary depending on the race and some, like the British GP, are already sold out. This year’s Austrian and Dutch GP flags still have space at the price of £249. Las Vegas has a Las Vegas price of £549 but Qatar, Hungary and Baku just creep under the £200-mark.
From £199, F1 Authentics
