By Aashay Khandelwal February 20, 2026 WhatsApp Linkedin Facebook X Telegram Visa strengthens F1 commitment with expanded Red Bull Racing renewal Oracle Red Bull Racing and Visa have renewed and expanded their global partnership, strengthening Visa’s presence across both Red Bull Formula 1 teams and extending its support into the F1 Academy . The long-term agreement builds on a relationship launched in 2024 and now spans Oracle Red Bull Racing and sister team Visa Cash App Racing Bulls , reinforcing Visa’s strategic investment in motorsport as a global marketing and client engagement platform. As part of the enhanced deal, Visa will retain prominent branding across team assets while adding new high-impact on-car placements, including continued visibility on the front wing of the RB22. The agreement also grants Visa exclusive rights within the Retail Banking category and unlocks an expanded portfolio of premium hospitality and client experiences across the Formula 1 calendar. The partnership will now extend into F1 Academy through the Red Bull Racing Academy Programme. As the all-female championship enters its fourth season, Visa will match Red Bull’s commitment by supporting two cars on the grid, further integrating its brand across the broader Red Bull motorsport ecosystem. In addition to branding on cars and driver race suits, Visa will activate through on-course signage, integrated team content, point-of-sale experiences and exclusive cardholder offers tied to race weekends worldwide. Paul Gandolfi, Chief Commercial Officer, Oracle Red Bull Racing, said, “In a short space of time, Oracle Red Bull Racing and Visa have fostered a partnership built on collaborative effort and mutual success. With Red Bull, we sit at the epicentre of sport, entertainment and lifestyle, meaning we are strategically positioned to bring globally recognised industry leaders like Visa into the sport as we embark on a new era of Formula 1.” Frank Cooper III, Chief Marketing Officer of Visa, added, “This renewal reflects the extraordinary momentum we’ve built with Red Bull Racing Teams, Visa Cash App Racing Bulls and Oracle Red Bull Racing, and our shared ambition to push what’s possible at the intersection of sport, culture and commerce. Both Red Bull Formula 1 Teams give us a dynamic global platform to connect with fans, clients and cardholders in powerful, authentic ways – and this next chapter expands how we show up across the sport.” The renewed agreement comes amid sustained commercial growth in Formula 1, which hosts more than 20 Grands Prix annually across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The sport’s expanding audience base and increasing corporate hospitality demand have driven long-term commitments from multinational brands seeking premium global exposure and business-to-business engagement opportunities. For Oracle Red Bull Racing, the extension secures continued backing from a category-leading financial services partner and reinforces the team’s commercial strength alongside its recent on-track success. For Visa, the partnership consolidates its footprint within one of the fastest-growing global sports properties and strengthens its ability to leverage Formula 1 as a platform for brand visibility, client acquisition and experiential marketing. The expanded alliance underscores both parties’ confidence in Formula 1’s long-term commercial trajectory and highlights the growing role of financial services brands within the sport’s evolving sponsorship landscape.
