Surely it's going to be one of the must have items for a British F1 fan this year, but it's not yet available. I'm talking about a Brawn GP cap or t-shirt. They've been pretty busy sorting out other things I guess! I got a reply from Grand Prix Legends on Twitter saying that there is nothing yet and it may take a while for stock to arrive when it is released. Other sites that sell F1 merchandise, such as Kitbag (who supply the official F1 Store on formula1.com), GT Models & On Pole all seem to be in the same situation - waiting for a truck load of Brawn GP gear to turn up.

Until that truck does turn up you could always do it the homemade way:

  1. Get yourself a cheap white t-shirt and baseball cap.
  2. Pop along to the Brawn GP website
  3. Print off their chunky logo twice onto some white paper.
  4. Carefully cut out the logos.
  5. Laminate the logos if you want to go out in the rain (optional).
  6. Stick the logos to your t-shirt and cap with sellotape, sticky-back plastic, or, in true Jenson style, with British grit and a blind faith that it will just stick.
  7. You can now walk out with your head held high and amaze your friends with your "Oh yeah, I know Ross, he's an old mate. It's a freebie." line.

So keep an eye out, the official merchandise will turn up sooner rather than later hopefully. Now, a Jenson cap or a Rubens one, hmmm..
