The Great British Driver Caps

The seemingly never-ending rainy weather may be putting a literal dampener on the beginning of UK springtime, but there are still plenty of reasons why we’re itching to begin celebrating the official start of the Great British Summer.

After all, if you’re a native of the British Isles, you know it only takes the merest drop of the breeze and the briefest gap in the clouds to have us stripping off to mark the arrival of the summer.

And with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee extravaganza only weeks away, the Santander British Grand Prix already a firm date in the diary, and the rest of the summer seemingly reserved for weeks of sizzling sporting action within the capital, we’re as keen as anyone to wave the flag.

Or wear it.

At Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, we’re enormously proud of our two British world champions, and, to celebrate, we’ve created these driver caps – handsomely bedecked with the Union Jack.

Jenson and Lewis will give their new headgear its first official tour of duty in Monaco this weekend – and they’ll wear their Union Jack caps with pride until the Hungarian Grand Prix at the end of July.

While we can’t guarantee the British weather will hold when you wear yours, they do have the added benefit of offering shelter from both the sun and rain – so if you’re British, or simply visiting Great Britain this summer, that can’t be bad.

The Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Great British driver caps will be available for a limited period during the summer of 2012 – to order yours, click here to visit the McLaren eShop.
