$2.5 Billion Brand Makes Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Suit Up as Ferrari Renews a Vital F1 Partnership

The F1 circus is known for globe-trotting. The entire tribe is always on the move, collecting thousands of flying miles throughout the year. But the difficult job can be made easier with a smooth commute, especially for the drivers. Hence, the fifth time still seems to be the charm, as Ferrari has renewed vows with its global airline partner to ferry its drivers to the Grand Prix locations seamlessly.

The scarlet team, in an official statement with its drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz suited up, announced that it is proud to extend its partnership with VistaJet. The Italian team first signed with the $2.5 billion global private jet giants in 2019 and has been in partnership with them ever since. The airline sponsor which has intended to continue as the official partner of the Ferrari F1 team will also support their World Endurance Championship program, i.e. the 499P Hypercar. Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna has appreciated the support in the wake of 23 races in the F1 calendar year and the micro-time management issues that creep up with that.

As quoted by the official website of Ferrari, Benedetto Vigna said, “We are pleased to renew our partnership with VistaJet as its attention to detail and tailor-made approach to meeting its clients’ needs is a perfect fit for us. With the Formula 1 team about to embark on a season featuring 23 Grands Prix, and our 499P programme making its debut on the endurance racing scene, time management is fundamental. The partnership with VistaJet means team personnel can fly to airports very close to the race venues and benefit from personalized take-off slots, an important factor that can translate into a competitive edge on track”
