Formula 1 now Carries the ic! berlin signature From the paddock to eyewear

Formula 1 enters the world of ic! berlin. The German eyewear brand is taking its connection with motorsport a step further through its partnership with the Audi Revolut Formula 1 Team, introducing the Racing Edition — a special collection that brings the aesthetics, precision and visual energy of racing into eyewear.

The project reinterprets two of the brand’s iconic styles, Ryan and Gabriel, through a series of details and materials inspired by the racing world. It is a meeting between two seemingly different universes, united by the same obsession with precision: on one side, the extreme engineering of a Formula 1 car; on the other, the technical approach that has always defined ic! berlin’s design language.

The Ryan comes in a Pearl finish with dark grey polarized lenses and red temple tips, creating a sharp, instantly recognizable contrast. The Gabriel, meanwhile, features a Sky Grey acetate front, finished with red TPE temple tips and new Pearl metal temples. Replacing the original acetate temples, the new construction further emphasizes the model’s technical character.

The connection with Formula 1 also comes to life through the collection’s campaign, starring Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto, the two Audi's driver. During the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, the two drivers also wore the Racing Edition in the paddock, turning the eyewear into a defining part of their looks during one of the most iconic weekends on the Formula 1 calendar.

The two drivers thus become the faces of a project that goes beyond simply referencing motorsport, instead absorbing some of its most recognizable codes: speed, performance, technology and a distinctive sense of style. It is another example of how Formula 1 continues to move beyond the boundaries of the track, influencing fashion, design and contemporary culture.
