Alpine F1 sponsors in 2026 number 47 according to the official BWT Alpine F1 Team list: one title partner (BWT), 4 premium partners (Eni, MSC Cruises, H. Moser & Cie., R5 TURBO 3E), 23 team partners, 16 technical suppliers and 3 licensees. The team finished 2025 last in the Constructors’ Championship with 22 points, and in 2026 it runs Mercedes power units with Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto. This is the complete portfolio, updated to October 2026.

Updated October 2026. List checked against the team’s official partners page.

For anyone considering sponsoring an F1 team, Alpine is an interesting case study precisely because it is not at the top of the grid. The team ended the last season at the bottom of the standings, yet it has a partner list of 47 names across very different sectors. The question for a brand is: what does a sponsor buy in a team that does not win? This guide answers with the data available: who the sponsors are, in which categories, what has changed since 2023, and what follows for anyone who wants to get in.

Alpine F1 in 2026: the team in brief

The team is based in Enstone, England, and descends from Toleman (1981), Benetton (1986-2001), Renault (from 2002), Lotus (2012-2015) and finally Alpine, the name it has raced under since 2021. Fernando Alonso won the 2005 and 2006 drivers’ titles when the team was Renault; Esteban Ocon won the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix for Alpine. The Renault group is the majority shareholder. In 2023 a consortium made up of Otro Capital, RedBird Capital Partners and Maximum Effort Investments bought a 24% stake for 200 million euros.

2026 is a year of technical change: after Renault’s exit as an engine manufacturer at the end of 2025, Alpine uses Mercedes power units and can concentrate resources on chassis and aerodynamics. The car is the A526, unveiled in January 2026 aboard an MSC Cruises ship off Barcelona. Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto are the drivers. Flavio Briatore is executive advisor and Steve Nielsen managing director.

What has changed since 2023

Anyone who read our 2023 guide will find a very different list. Brands that appeared in the list of the time, such as Binance, Microsoft, Castrol, BP Ultimate and Bell & Ross, no longer appear on the official 2026 list. The structure has changed: today the team distinguishes a title partner, premium partners, team partners, suppliers and licensees, and the largest part is made up of technology, finance and service companies. The team has also changed how it presents itself: a single title partner with a strong visual identity (BWT) and a premium tier of four names covering energy, cruises, watchmaking and cars.

Why sponsor a team like Alpine

A brand that chooses Alpine is not buying the probability of winning. It buys three other things, which can be read in the make-up of the list.

1. Global exposure at a different entry cost. A team at the back of the grid gives access to the same calendar and the same television audience as a team at the front. Rates are not public: to understand the orders of magnitude there is the overview of the cost of Formula 1 sponsorship.
2. Category exclusivity. The case of eToro, exclusive partner for trading and investment, shows how a team sells its category: a single brand, for one sector, in exchange for visibility and content for fans.
3. A B2B platform. Among the team partners, technology and business-software companies carry weight (Cato Networks, Arctic Wolf, Avature, Businessolver, AtkinsRéalis): for anyone selling to other companies, the paddock is a place to meet customers, not only exposure to the general public.

The risk is the mirror image: exposure also depends on results, and teams fighting for the podium tend to appear more often in race footage. That is why every assessment should start from the brand’s objective and sector, not from the position in the standings.
