Luxury giant LVMH and Liberty Media-owned Formula 1 have announced a 10-year global partnership that will kick off in 2025. This collaboration will bring together some of LVMH’s most prestigious brands, including Louis Vuitton, Moët Hennessy, and TAG Heuer, as they become key elements in enhancing the Formula 1 experience.

“At the core of our Maisons and Formula 1 activity lies a shared commitment to people, excellence, and innovation. Whether in motorsport, fashion, watchmaking, or wine and spirits, every detail counts on the path to success. This relentless pursuit to break boundaries, whether in our workshops or on circuits around the world, inspires our vision. It’s this shared commitment to excellence and innovation that we aim to bring to life in this unique partnership between Formula 1 and our Group.” — Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH Group

 

The partnership seeks to merge the worlds of luxury and motorsport, combining LVMH’s craftsmanship and high-end appeal with Formula 1’s cutting-edge innovation and performance-driven spirit. Valued at nearly $100 million, the deal will officially launch at the start of the 2025 F1 season, coinciding with Formula 1’s 75th anniversary, adding to the significance of the collaboration.

 

This long-term agreement promises to elevate fan engagement through bespoke hospitality experiences, exclusive brand activations, limited-edition products, and premium content. The alliance aims to create unique opportunities for fans to connect with both luxury brands and the adrenaline-fueled world of Formula 1, offering a new level of exclusivity in the sport.

 

For Formula 1, this partnership is a strategic step towards further expanding its global influence and tapping into new markets. Meanwhile, for LVMH, it presents a valuable platform to introduce its iconic brands to Formula 1’s rapidly growing and diverse audience, aligning perfectly with the sport’s increasing cultural relevance and popularity.

 

Notably, this partnership signals a significant shift in Formula 1’s sponsorship landscape, as TAG Heuer will replace Rolex as the official timekeeping partner. Rolex has held this role since 2013, and its departure marks a new chapter in the luxury-motorsport partnership dynamic.

As anticipation builds for the official launch, both LVMH and Formula 1 are set to redefine standards in their industries, creating a powerful synergy that will engage motorsport fans and luxury enthusiasts alike. How do you think this collaboration will transform the Formula 1 experience?
