It is not difficult to recognize that the car combines purple and yellow colors similar to the new version of the F50 football boots. The bike also features Adidas’ iconic three stripes. The post accompanied by a picture of the car quickly attracted attention on social networks.

According to research, building an exclusive Formula 1 car for Messi is considered to be a double task. On the one hand, it is intended to honor the star who won the Golden Ball title eight times, on the other hand, this move aims to promote the return of the F50 model that Messi used in the late 2000s and early 2010s. In fact, the new F50 soccer shoe model was used by Messi in Inter Miami’s recent 1-0 win over DC United in the American Professional Soccer League (MLS).
