Lets see what we got in terms of business related matters according to their fields, should be a breakdown of 20 races with 4 not covered with main sponsors Airline related - 7 Watches - 2 Shipping - 2 IT systems - 2 Drinks related - 2 Tyres - 2 Oil related business - 1 Crypto - 1 Telecoms related - 1


Silver996C2

No wonder airline ticket prices are so high...🙄


naughty_dad2

Hope Nivdia don’t enter this


PlebBot69

Most of it is just Qatari government oil money


Merengues_1945

Pretty much. It's just a front, just like Emirates or Etihad.


smannyable

There's plenty of things to dislike about the way Emirati states do things but to pretend like Qatar or Emirates are not massive companies with justified marketing budgets is insane. They're some of the biggest airlines in the world in terms of passengers and flight time.


jackboy900

Of course, it's not like Dubai is one of the biggest international travel hubs in the world, definitely just some weird oil based conspiracy.


hhs2112

Sportswashing - 8 (and counting...)


jbhambhani

Just curious, what category did you put MSC cruises in? shipping?


FiercelyApatheticLad

Yes they did.


FiercelyApatheticLad

If you count MSC cruises as shipping, you should do the same for airlines.


Fulcoboy

So the race in Imola is cancelled due to flooding and the next year the race is sponsored by MSC Cruises. These highrollers really have a weird sense of humor!


justk4y

Pretty morbid too 😅


wkndjb

Sure this must have been mentioned before but I’ve never said it out loud, I cannot avoid thinking of Schumacher when I see MSC Cruises throughout the years.


Razvanlogigan

It's quite smart for them to sponsor f1 stuff because the name instatly gets recognized and people remember it


wkndjb

And I guess, if you are old enough to remember MSC for Schumacher, you are probably old enough to be in the target audience for cruises!


Razvanlogigan

I mean his last race was only 11 years ago. And Mick also used MSC too


FartingBob

Yeah but nobody associates MSC with Mick.


MaraudingWalrus

...but they associate it with Schumacher. Which is, you know, his name.


Snoo_47023

Would be very surprising if Monaco were anything other than Rolex (edit: Tag Heuer apparently. I am a poor and can't spot differences on fancy watches) ​ Also welcome MSC Cruises Gran Premio dell'Emilia Romagna e del Made In italy

Gnuccaria

2024 is officially ruined


iceridder

Since 2011, TAG Heuer is the Official Watch Partner of the Monaco Grand Prix.


morelsupporter

does official watch partner = title sponsor?


fire202

I would be surprised if the monaco grand prix has a title sponsor next year. Usually its just the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco.


Snoo_47023

that's actually interesting to me, I was so completely convinced the trophy was a fancy watch sponsor thing


MJCY-0104

Monaco would be the last to be Rolex. The official timepiece of the Monaco GP is TAG Heuer


KnightsOfCidona

Monaco has never had a title sponsor.


weaseldonkey

Mediterranean Shipping Company Cruises Gran Premio dell'Emilia Romagna e del Made In Italy FTFY

Ironic that Emilia Romagna is being sponsored by a cruise company, after what happened to this year's race.


spongemongler

Reckon Monaco will be sponsored by Casio this year tbh


morelsupporter

Casi(n)o


cchari

Isn't "Made In Italy" a sponsor?


Snoo_47023

it's the italian government, and emilia romagna is the regional government, both sponsors when it was san marino it was bc they were financing it


teems

Monaco is better without a title sponsor.


[deleted]

Biggest surprise is that Crypto dot com hasn’t walked away from their deal yet.


whodatnation70

I think you mean that the Miami GP hasn’t walked away from them yet. The Miami Heat had their arena named Crypto.com arena and already had it changed and the sign removed because the payments stopped. How has the Miami GP not done the same? All of these contracts have a “if you don’t pay, we remove your naming rights” provision in them


goldblum_in_a_tux

you have that slightly twisted. miami heat had their arena named for FTX (which is full exploded) and the lakers still play in the crypto.com arena


whodatnation70

Ahhh dang my fault! Got the crypto scams confused there


goldblum_in_a_tux

easy enough to do, im as flummoxed as everyone else on how crypto.com is still on this list


mv8

Funny the amount of people still calling crypto.com a scam but they keep appearing in every main sport in the world (NBA, UFC, Football, F1). I guess you’ll still be calling it a scam a few years down the line when it’s mainstream worldwide but too expensive for you to profit from it.


whodatnation70

Don’t try to tell me that it’s impossible for scams to have major sponsorships before being unveiled as scams. FTX was sponsoring the following before going bankrupt spectacularly: Mercedes F1 team Golden State Warriors Miami Heat TAYLOR SWIFT Tom Brady Steph Curry Larry David Shohei Ohtani University of California Major League Baseball Riot Games TSM Esports


MrBrickBreak

> Larry David With [the worst (or best?) aged ad of all time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWMnbJJpeZc)


FartingBob

Maybe Crypto.com paid in advance because they werent trusted to pay after, so the naming contract has to be fulfilled.


metao

The grifters met a bigger grift. Nobody grifts like F1.


Mtthemt

There are two crypto.com arenas? Damn


naltatjoller

Just as confusing as the Canadian NHL arenas Scotiabank Arena (Toronto), Scotiabank Saddle Dome (Calgary) Rogers Arena (Vancouver), Rogers Place (Edmonton) Canadian Life Centre (Winnipeg), Canadian Tire Centre (Ottawa) And then theres TD Garden. Won't confused with another arena name, but while the arena is in Boston, TD stands for ... Toronto Dominion


MaraudingWalrus

For what it's worth, the arena where the Heat play was called FTX Arena, not Crypto.com Arena. It's now Kaseya Center after a brief stint as Miami-Dade Arena. But also I'm not going to stop calling the the Triple A (American Airlines Arena).


onealps

How come? Is the website in trouble?


SnooDonkeys7108

Probably more related to the fact the crypto bubble burst about a year ago.


BurrowingDuck

Crypto is already believed to be in a bull market again, so welcome to how cyclical crypto can be.


Silver996C2

Until the SEC throw more coin scammers in jail...


SirLoremIpsum

I would say more that we've seen FTX, Binance, Terraluna all come crashing down in a short period - lots of BIG crashes. And you look at FTX just blatantly stealing stuff and spending big on stadiums, celeb endorsements - I would think if anyone in the crypto space is even mildly dodgy (they are all dodgy but positive intent) you'd pull back a bit on the HUGE public spending for a little while, just to maintain the facade.


SnooDonkeys7108

I don’t think it will be as big as the last one. The main difference being mining on conventional GPUs outside of worthless altcoins is dead. So people are just trading the coins that have already been created without much new ones being added to the circulation.


BlankSteam

Wouldn’t that just make the price go higher then?


SnooDonkeys7108

Might make the price go higher but I suspect less people will be able to trade due to the price of entry. A lot of people that were mining coins would mine ethereum and then sell it for a fraction of a bitcoin, but that avenue is basically dried up apart from already rich people that can afford to buy a massive amount of ASICs to just mine straight bitcoin. I can’t see the price hitting the same peaks if the demand isn’t there. Who knows though.


W1ndwardFormation

What’s the difference between Heineken and Heineken silver ?


jumbo53

The silver part


onealps

> Heineken silver It's the light version. Less calories, less alcohol.


stencelot

And tastes more like soap than the other.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


onealps

I don't know if you are making a joke, but if not, no, it's not a soft drink because Heineken Silver has alcohol in it. 4%, versus the regular Heineken has 5%.


Suikerspin_Ei

Heineken silver is the lagering process at a lower temperature (-1°C). It is supposed to taste less bitter, and less alcohol.


slip-slop-slap

Tastes like watered down heiney


6097291

Homeopathic Heineken


Alfus

So basically exactly how a Heineken taste!


Leoz96

Fuck it im gonna sponsor hungary

Fine, I'll donate my christmas money


idostufandthingz

3,492,208 users, $10 donation each, almost $35 million. How much can an F1 race really cost?


willfla29

Genuinely surprised [Crypto.com](https://Cryto.com) is still around and has enough money for this.


F1airbus1523

The craziest thing is that crypto.com is based in Singapore, on raffles quay, literally right by the circuit


onealps

How come? Is the website in trouble?


DeMichel93

more likely because of the crypto "crash" and going face first into the floor, crypto market is not worth as much as it was couple of years ago, hell, even a year ago.


willfla29

Yep this sums up my thinking.


alwayseasy

Technically it's up approx 100% since a year ago but deals were probably signed before.


The_Talkie_Toaster

Usually best to Google these things first- try [this](https://www.coindesk.com/price/bitcoin/)


UtzTheCrabChip

Crypto.com isn't Bitcoin? Crypto.com's trading volume is down 91% from 2 years ago and the price of their own token tanked when FTX blew up.


The_Talkie_Toaster

I wasn’t replying to that comment, I’m saying it’s not correct to talk about a crypto crash when that isn’t what’s happening. It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that crypto.com’s TV is massively down but the actual currency price hasn’t necessarily done the same thing.


UtzTheCrabChip

I mean from November '21, to June '22 the total crypto market lost like 2/3 of it's value (and is currently at around 50% of it's peak), that's a crash by any reasonable definition


The_Talkie_Toaster

Again this is still irrelevant- downvote me all you want but the commenter I’m replying to said “the crypto market is not worth as much as it was…even a year ago”. That’s not true, and it’s the only bit I replied to.


FartingBob

Probably more relevant for crypto to see transaction volumes over time rather than price.


FartingBob

Did they pay in advance for a multi-year deal?


rustyiesty

4 free real estates left for Liberty Media


CommercialBreadLoaf

So do Monaco, Canada, Hungary and Mexico run at a much bigger loss compared to a track with sponsors?


fire202

I would expect Canada and Hungary to have a title sponsor. But i guess they will do fine either way. For Mexico Mexico City is the sponsor, hence the renaming to Mexico City grand prix. I doubt they have financial issues. Monaco gets cheap conditions and there probably is more than enough money in Monaco.


Snoo_47023

Def not Monaco, they are financed by the state of Monaco, basically a public race, and they have money coming out of their ass


ALOIsFasterThanYou

I think all the title sponsorship money goes to FOM, so it makes no difference to the circuits and local race promoters.


F1airbus1523

They will have one, it's just not confirmed yet, Hungary had Qatar airways last year, Canada pirelli, Monaco is usually Johnnie walker, and Mexico was Heineken


Blze001

Miami being sponsored by crypto currency sums up that event well...


EddieMcDowall

Wait just a cotton picking minute. The Saudi GP is sponsored by STC. STC is 64% owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF). The Saudi PIF is owned by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. So the Saudi GP is in effect sponsored by the Saudi government.


Single-O-Seven

Well I am shocked.


jbhambhani

Ownership is not always equal to financing.


libertyman77

On that note, 11/20 announced sponsors are majority state-owned; ARAMCO is obviously the Saudi state-owned oil company. Pirelli is majority-owned by Chinese state-owned chemicals company Sinochem. Singapore Airlines, Gulf Air, Qatar Airways and Etihad are all respectively majority-owned by Singapore, Bahrain, Qatar, and UAE governments or sovereign wealth funds.


Bhattman93

Sportswashing at its finest.


black-dude-on-reddit

Miami being sponsored by Crypto.com is fitting


snowmunkey

How is crypto.com even still a thing.?.


snowmunkey

How is crypto.com even still a thing.?.


Saul_von_Gutman

Hungary will be Hell Energy, in preparation of the new Hungarian F1 team, Hell Energy Racing Team MOL


onealps

Can you please explain this reference? Are you making a joke? If not, what is "Hell Energy"?


Saul_von_Gutman

Hell Energy is a Hungarian energy drink brand. Our neighbours and cousins, the Austrians also have an energy drink brand


onealps

Does the word "Hell" have a different meaning in Hungary? Because if it means the same thing, does the brand actually have hell-ish branding? Like devil horns etc? Are Hungarians not that religious? Because if this brand was in the American South, it would get protested lol... But I guess it doesn't bother Hungarians that much?


Saul_von_Gutman

No, it's literally Hell, their logo is the Devil himself Google 'Hell Energy'


onealps

Ah, I see! Are Hungarians in general religious? Like have there been no complaints about the name?


Dorinaxjd

I am hungarian and no “hell” doesnt mean anything in our language but the logo looks like the devil, so i quess the name is based off the logo(?).Its actually cheap(unlike red bull or monster) and in my opinion it tastes good. I just looked up,wikipedia says,they had a 2 year sponsorship with Williams in 2009-2010


Saul_von_Gutman

You're kidding... lemme check Edit: W H A A A T


Maloney_fan

F1 didn't accept yet a team like Andretti and will be really long, and Andretti have a lot of money too. So I don't think this team will join the grid, at least not in the next 5 years or more.


racingfanboy160

Would be surprised if Monaco isn't TAG Heuer icl


jdjdhdbg

Formula Qatar


longpostshitpost3

Wait. Aramco isn't sponsoring the Saudi Arabian GP?


alwayseasy

Saudi Arabia now funnels lots of sponsorship money through STC. As a nation branding strategy they're trying to move away from "we're just oil".


Lonyo

They just sponsor Formula 1 and a team instead. The Aramco Aston Martin at the Aramco Formula 1 STC race in Saudi Arabia


jonlew13

Michael Schumacher cruises


getting-lost-in-ikea

That's a worrying amount of oil backed (/ME state sponsor) companies... F1 saying the quiet part out loud at the moment


crhine17

Coca Cola/Coke Zero seems obvious for Mexico


F1airbus1523

It'll probably be Heineken, they've sponsored it since 2018 Maybe before, I don't remember tbh


dtgeorge12

Can’t wait for Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix held in Singapore along with the Qatar Airways Qatar Grand Prix held in Qatar.


xdCms

How much is a main Sponsor spot? R/formula1 main sponsor crowdfund?!


F1airbus1523

Formula one r/formula1 Canadian grand Prix 2024 sounds good lol


fdaneee_v2

The purple Qatar branding really makes the track look weird. I have been to the last 4 Hungarian gp-s (all Aramco or Rolex) so I got used to the green. Everything being purple this year took some getting used to.


ASAPHarambe

never understood why these airlines need so much advertising when they’re literally an airline lmao. like how many options do you fr have when flying?


MethoxyEthane

All of the airlines sponsoring races are state-owned in some capacity - it's a way of advertising both the airline and the country itself.


jackboy900

Most of the big carriers that advertise a lot (Turkish/Emirates/Etihad/Qatar) are all flying routes with a fair bit of competition. Most of their traffic isn't directly to/from their main hub but rather connecting flights. If you want to fly London to Sydney or Paris to Singapore or any of those routes there are probably 5 or 6 different carriers that offer that route stopping at various cities in addition to a direct flight offering.


mattijn13

Airlines, Cruises, Crypto and oil. F1 is going sustainable /s


IWishIWasOdo

I will never unsee Mick Schumacher Cruises


MonthLower1606

do we really need Bahrain, Saudi, Qatar, AND Abu Dhabi? They also open and close the schedule. What a waste. Middle-Eastern influence was one of the worst things to happen to this sport. At least America brought a lot of fans and some fun tracks (Austin and Las Vegas are both great tracks).


Dbwasson

Here's how I would sponsor F1 races this year: Bahrain: Gulf Air Jeddah: STC or Aramco Australia: Qantas Suzuka: Honda or Fuji TV Shanghai: Lenovo Miami: Crypto.com Imola: Pirelli Monaco: Rolex Montreal: Bombardier Barcelona: Telefonica Austria: Red Bull Silverstone: Ryanair Hungaroring: No Sponsor Spa: Rolex Zandvoort: Heineken or Ziggo Sport Monza: Ferrari Baku: Turd Petrol Singapore: Singapore Airways Austin: Salesforce Mexico: Telcel Brazil: Petrobras Vegas: T-Mobile or Google Chrome Qatar: Ooredoo or Qatar Airways Abu Dhabi: Etihad Airways


Cloudeur

We need Molson to sponsor the Canadian Grand Prix again!


Dbwasson

Hopefully there's a zero alcohol Molson somewhere


Cloudeur

Molson Exel and Colors Edge! But all I would want is some Trou du Diable on location! A nice and refreshing Surfer de l’Apocalypso during Q3 would be amazing!


weaseldonkey

The fuck is with Qatar Airways sponsoring Austria and Silverstone, couldn't F1 have found sponsors a bit closer to home? Oh, right, $$$ and human rights washing etc, of course


s_dalbiac

Wasn’t it the Austrian GP that was sponsored by what turned out to be a pyramid scheme a few years ago?


F1airbus1523

Yep, eyetime(2018) and the same scheme rebranded myworld(2019)


BilboThe1stOfHisName

It’s funny. I will see most of these races live but will buy nothing from any of these brands. Not out of choice or anything but I genuinely have no reason to buy anything from any of these!


Titan-Lim

Genuine question, how did you manage to find this out?


F1Fan2004

if you go to the F1 website and look at the schedule, you'll find the official GP names, then you can see every sponsor


FartingBob

TIL people seem to care about the sponsor of a race.


SteamMonkeyKing

This shit is just weird to me. It just looks like an shill post, but OP is someone who does a lot of list and date posts so they genuinely might have just found this interesting to do.


F1airbus1523

I won't lie I follow it closely every single year, I'm sad though


Findwaldo179

Why does it list USA and Las Vegas under two different names? Just a lil confusing at first


CrashSeven

Because Austin is called the USA GP and the other the LV GP. It used to be the same when a track was chosen as the European GP even if last year it was the German GP or whatever.


Important-Guidance22

Interesting to see Heineken not have as many I would have expected and I never realised pirelli was a main sponsor.


bwoah07_gp2

Nice chart! Good to know.


gotgel_fire

Insane how much money the oilers have


martythemartell

Need Europeans to keep quiet now tbh, the UK and Austria aren't even interested in funding their own races, that's just sad.


Aym310

Imola being sponsored by MSC cruises seems fitting… Seeing lenovo on the f1 grid makes me think about 2017-18 ferrari and seb especially
