The Spanish bank and the F1𓂃 team’s deal was worth $60m pe💯r season, report.

Ferrari’s total revenue from sponsors last year was $250, the report states, and Santan🎃der was a major part.

Their alliance will conclude when their existing contract comes to an end, on December 31, 2024. Santander and Ferrari have worked 🥃together between 2010-2017, then again since 2022.

Lorenzo Giorgetti, Chief Racing Revenue Officer of Ferrari, said: “As our successful partnership with Santander comes to its end, we would l🌜ike to express our gratitude for their dedication and collaboration during our journey together.

“They have played an important role in contributing to our achievements over the past three year🅷s.”

Juan Manuel Cendoya, global head of Communications, Corporate Marketing and Research of Santander and vice chair of Santander Spain, said: “We are extremely grateful𒁏 to Ferrari for their partnership over the past three years.

“Sponsorships play an important role in engaging with clients and reinforcing our brand and we will continue to work with a range of partners in the years ꦗahead.”

The driver from Spain will head to ꩲWilliams in 2025, when he is replaced by Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari.

Santander’s claim that they 🎉will ‘continue to work with a range of partners’ might open the door to an alliance with Williams, where Sainz will be driving.
