In Formula 1

And after the 4 first launches of the MoneyGram Hass F1, Oracle Red Bull Racing, Gulf Oil Williams and Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake teams, come the presentations of the new liveries of Scuderia AlphaTauri, Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant and McLaren Racing.

The second tranche of team launches for the 2023 Formula 1 season begins with Scuderia AlphaTauri.

The Italian team presents the new AT04 livery and the new Alpha Tauri AW23 collection straight from the runways of New York Fashion week.

The first big news from the Formula 1 is certainly the new Title Sponsor Orlen, featured very visibly on the fairing and on the drivers’ overalls. Many expected a dominance of the color red, just because of the presence of the new partner, but actually blue and white are the colors of the new AT04 as per tradition.

PKN ORLEN is one of the largest oil and gas companies in Central Europe, a global brand, operating on 6 continents, in more than 100 countries around the world. Once again proof that Formula 1 is an incredible and powerful global marketing platform, offering various levels of sponsorship programs to all kinds of companies.

Confirmed sponsor FlexBox, whose logo is back on the machine.

Team AlphaTauri also adds partner in the
suitcase sector to its list of partnerships
as well as other Formula 1 teams. Suitcases and travel bags are an essential item for drivers and staff who travel the world year-round; just think that the 2023 Formula 1 calendar consists of 23 races, starting in March in Bahrain and ending in November in Abu Dhabi.

Therefore, the collaboration with Swedish brand Carl Friedrik, the team’s new official luggage supplier, is perfect.

Carl Friedrik is a leather and travel goods brand founded in 2012 by Swedish brothers Niklas and Mattis Oppermann, who will launch a limited-edition carry-on suitcase in collaboration with Scuderia AlphaTauri specifically for this partnership, with exclusive colors and materials inspired by the Italian Formula One team.
