Four F1 teams are reported𓆉ly battling to secure Mastercard as a huge sponsorship.

McLaren🧸 are leading the chase to bring Mastercard on board,  report.

Ferrari, Mercedes, andꩲ Aston Ma🐬rtin are also in the mix.

Next we🍨ekend’s F1 Miami Grand Prix will see a “sponsorship showdown” between the fo🎃ur teams who all want to bring Mastercard in.

Whoever secuꦦres the sponsor will receive a “huge cash injection”, the report claims.

If McLaren secure the deal ꧃it could even be a title sponsor, r✤esulting in a name change for the F1 team.

Ferrari’s bra🅰nd-new deal to add Hewlett-Packard as their title sponsor - which will immediately result in a name-change to Scu🔴deria Ferrari HP - means there is no space for Mastercard to come in as a title sponsor.

That means, if Mastercard want to join Ferrari, theyꦛ must settle for a sponsorship of lower importance than Hewlett-Packard’s.

Ferrari’s new deal with ꦏHewlett-Packard is reportedly as big as Red Bull’s with their title sponsor Oracle.

Oracle’s sponsorship is worth almost half of the $🎉135m budget cap to Red Bull.

Mastercard are eyeing a return to Formula 1 nearly 30 🌳year🐟s after they left.

They were the title sponsor fo꧙r the Lola team in 19🃏97.

Mastercard were also invoꦓlved with the Jordan F1ဣ team.

A Mastercard comment to SportBusiness was:&nb🍰sp;“We are constantly exploring how new opportunities could complement the value🐼 delivered to our customers and cardholders. But nothing new to share at this time.”

Mastercard already have big sponsorships in the sports world with the Champions League, the Rugby World, M꧟ajor League Baseball among others.
