Formula 1 has announced a groundbreaking 10-year global partnership with luxury giant LVMH, signaling a new era of high-end collaborations for the sport. Starting in 2025, the partnership will bring the iconic brands of LVMH—Louis Vuitton, Moët Hennessy, and Tag Heuer, among others—into the world of Grand Prix racing. This marks a significant alignment between the worlds of motorsport and luxury, further expanding F1’s reach into premium markets.
“Luxury Meets Speed: The Details of the Partnership”
LVMH, which oversees 75 prestigious Maisons spanning wines & spirits, fashion & leather goods, perfumes & cosmetics, watches, and jewelry, will activate various aspects of this partnership through hospitality, bespoke activations, limited editions, and exclusive content. The collaboration aims to create unique fan experiences while leveraging the luxury group’s global appeal.
The partnership builds on previous collaborations, including LVMH’s involvement during the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and will further enhance F1’s commercial and brand strategy, aligning it with the values of creativity and innovation.
“The Visionaries Behind the Deal”
Greg Maffei, President and CEO of Liberty Media, which owns Formula 1, hailed the partnership as a reflection of both brands’ shared dedication to pushing boundaries. “LVMH and Formula 1 are two global brands that consistently push the boundaries of creativity and innovation, values core to Liberty Media,” Maffei said.
Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH Group, echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the shared pursuit of excellence between the two worlds. “In motorsport as in fashion, watchmaking, or wines and spirits, every detail counts on the path to success,” Arnault stated. He highlighted that both industries are driven by innovation and meticulous attention to detail, which aligns perfectly with the values of LVMH.
“A New Era for F1 and Luxury”
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali underlined the synergies between the global growth of Formula 1 and LVMH’s diverse portfolio of brands. “Our sport is founded on the relentless pursuit of excellence, a value that also lies at the heart of LVMH,” Domenicali said. He noted that as F1 continues to attract a more diverse and affluent audience, LVMH’s involvement will help elevate the fan experience while honoring the heritage and sophistication of the sport.
