Carrera a protagonist in the Formula One World Championship 2007

Carrera sunglasses are poised on the starting grid ready for the new season of Formula One! For the races of the season 2007, Carrera, a brand leader in the sector of eyewear for sport, helmets and ski masks, is the technical partner for the 'Spyker Formula One' team, particularly competitive in the category.

The 'Spyker Formula One' team, now also personalized with the Carrera logo on the racing car, has lined up its drivers on the track, with the Dutchman Christijan Albers, on his second season of races, and German Adrian Sutil, who makes his debut this year on the circuits of Formula One: the two drivers will take to the track on the circuit in Melbourne, in Australia on March 18.

Carrera has created exclusive eyewear for the team for the season 2007: the model, which will be worn by the team members - from the team manager to the engineers and mechanics, is called 'Spyker F1'. It is a revised, limited edition of 'Keramiko', one of the most successful eyewear models of Carrera's collection, created exclusively for the team; like the model it draws inspiration from, the new eyewear model also stands out for its attractive, streamlined design. The injected model 'Spyker F 1' boasts a distinctly sporty style, requirements of maximum comfort and a perfect fit. The model, which is personalized by the famous 'C' icon, raised at the front of the stems, and by the team's name, is available exclusively for the team in gray with orange profiles, to match the colors of the racing car.

Together with the top models from Carrera's sports sunglasses collection, the exclusive eyewear model will be clearly on display in the team's 'hospitality' area during the races. So, guests can admire Carrera's models and try them on: eyewear that is perfect for showing off in the boxes and paddocks, but not only…

Carrera, the Safilo Group's sporting soul, has always played a leading role in the world of sport, and it is the brand for champions in disciplines where technology, performance and design play a vital role.
