adidas Originals, Bad Bunny, and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team Bring Historic F1 Demo to Puerto Rico

At 9AM local time on August 2nd, the streets of San Juan will roar to life as a Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 car makes a landmark demo run across the iconic Puente Dos Hermanos, with the team's driver Esteban Gutiérrez at the wheel. The free event is open to the public, with all welcome to watch the action unfold. This will be the first time in history that a Formula 1 car has touched Puerto Rican soil - a milestone made possible by the collective drive of Bad Bunny, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS and adidas Originals.

In an unexpected new role for the already boundary-pushing Global phenomenon, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS announces Bad Bunny as the newest member of the team in celebration of the partnership. Rooted in the artist's fearless approach to breaking new ground and adidas Originals commitment to culture across sport, heritage, and lifestyle, the partnership brings Formula 1's precision and technical excellence to the forefront of contemporary culture.

This moment will also mark the sneak preview of a forthcoming product collaboration between adidas Originals, Bad Bunny, and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team.

Following the demo run, fans will have the opportunity to get up close with the team's F1 car and view a curated exhibit of authentic, historical racing gear from the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS archives, including authentic race suits, gloves, and boots, that pay tribute to the legacy of motorsport excellence at the Coliseo.

As Bad Bunny continues his Historic, sold-out residency No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, supported by adidas Originals, the partnership continues to reflect the aim of adidas, The artist, and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 to spotlight Puerto Rico on a global stage. It will also aim to energize the team's serious competitive perspective through Bad Bunny's trailblazing identity as a generational force and Originals' unrelenting aesthetic innovation.
