February is a busy month for Formula 1, as most teams are getting ready for F1-75. Some drivers are out-hitting the track with Pirelli, as others are doing interviews. F1 is also staying busy with the announcement of new partnerships and sponsors.
Monaco adds new title sponsor
For the first time in the Monaco Grand Prix History, they will be adding a title sponsor. Following in the footsteps of many circuits that already have title sponsors, the Monaco Grand Prix will now be named 'FORMULA 1 TAG HEUER GRAND PRIX DE MONACO'. This announcement follows the many new sponsors gained by Formula 1. Working closely with the LVMH luxury group, F1 has made several changes. Rolex has been replaced by TAG Heuer as the official F timekeeper, and the Ferrari champagne has been replaced by Moet & Chandon.
Red Bull Racing releases 'On the Limit'
Red Bull Racing have released a new replica team kit and clothing collection called 'On the Limit' with the brand Castore. Driver Max Verstappen was a part of the announcement, with him modelling the new clothes. Castore's co-founder and co-owner, Tom Beahon, "We are excited to launch our 2025 Replica Team kit collection with Oracle Red Bull Racing. The ‘On the Limit’ collection is built around performance and our collective mentality to Never Stop. Even when Oracle Red Bull Racing are at the top of their game, they never take their foot off the pedal, an ethos that is key part of this partnership. We look forward to bringing our signature style to the F1 paddock and beyond as the Team chase success in the 2025 season.”
