Since 2016, Heineken has played a vital role in celebrating and amplifying the spectacle of Formula 1 through many activities, including track activations, providing world-class DJs at events and enhancing fan experiences globally. The extended partnership will usher in a new phase in Heineken and F1’s relationship and focus on engaging Formula 1’s growing fanbase in meaningful and creative ways whilst also providing world-class entertainment moments, including performances from Heineken’s newly announced global ambassador, Dutch superstar DJ Martin Garrix.

The Dutch beer brand will use F1’s global platform to provide messaging around responsible consumption and promote Heineken 0.0, a premium zero-alcohol product – as part of their responsible drinking programme. Since entering the world of motorsport in 2016, Heineken has been committed to driving real change towards the attitudes around drunk driving, launching their ‘When You Drive, Never Drink’ campaign and has also committed to investing 10%+ of all media budgets to supporting responsible consumption programmes.

Alongside the partnership, Heineken will be the official Title Race Partner for the inaugural Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix 2023, which is set to create the perfect combination of world-class entertainment and exceptional fan experiences across the race weekend.

Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, said:

Since our partnership with Heineken began in 2016, they have been an incredible partner focusing on delivering world-class events for all our fans that encompass the very best of sport and entertainment. They have become a key part of the race weekend. The work that Heineken is doing to promote responsible drinking remains as important to us as the experiences they create for our fans, old and new, and we look forward to enhancing that throughout this season and beyond.

Dolf van den Brink, Chief Executive Officer & Chairman of the Executive Board at Heineken, said:

F1’s rapidly growing, ever-changing fanbase was one of the many reasons we extended our partnership. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to continue delivering world-class fan experiences while developing our responsible consumption messages to an increasingly engaged and relevant audience. With the Heineken Silver Las Vegas race later this year set to be a highlight, 2023 will be the most exhilarating season yet!
