Joining the race for rainbow campaigning, Mercedes has unveiled the flashy new ‘Pride Star’. As it zips through Pride Month, the automaker will adorn the standout symbol on the nose of both of its race cars.
The Mercedes-Benz Pride Star swathes the classic three-pointed star logo in a rainbow holographic finish—just envision the W13s speeding into a blur while carrying this stunner. The logo make its appearance at the Azerbaijan (June 12), Canada (June 19), and Great Britain (July 3) races.

In addition to the cars, the rainbow emblem will take its place on the helmets of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
“Displaying the Pride star represents a visual expression of our commitment to creating a more diverse and inclusive team… Everyone is different. But we are all equal. We stand for openness, trust and fairness,” says Mercedes-AMG in a press release.
Happy #PrideMonth â¤ï¸ð
