Heineken is global beer partner of Formula 1

Starting with the 2017 F1 season, Heineken will be the F1 event title partner of three Formula 1 Grand Prix races. It will also have a significant presence at several additional F1 Events chosen by Heineken and Formula One Management. Heineken will be the exclusive Global Beer Partner of Formula 1 and will also have substantial pouring, activation and access rights across the majority of F1 events in the FIA Formula One World Championship. Heineken will not be visible on any F1 cars.

Heineken will create fully integrated global F1 Open your World manifesto and "If You Drive, Never Drink" campaigns. Activations will include F1 circuit branding, TV commercials, digital activations, live fan experiences and events, dedicated PR initiatives, and packaging/point-of-sale activations. David Coulthard and Sir Jackie Stewart will be ambassadors for the respective campaigns.

Gianluca Di Tondo, Senior Director Global Heineken Brand at Heineken, said; "Formula One is bigger than a race. It is a global event. F1 represents a unique opportunity for Heineken to engage with existing and potential consumers in important growth markets. F1 delivers in three specific areas; strong commercial opportunities; expansion of our responsible drinking platform in new and innovative ways; and enabling skill transfers between F1 and our employees."
