In a groundbreaking move, Gucci has announced its role as the title sponsor for the Alpine Formula One team beginning in 2027. The partnership, revealed on Wednesday, will see the team rebranded as the 'Gucci Racing Alpine Formula One Team.' This collaboration is notable as it marks the first time a fashion house has taken on such a prominent sponsorship role in Formula One. The team will showcase Gucci's iconic colors and logo on their cars, emphasizing a fusion of luxury and high-performance racing. This partnership makes sense within the context of Formula One, a sport known for its lavishness and substantial financial backing, where many drivers already have their own luxury brand endorsements. Fans of Alpine may find themselves drawn to new merchandise featuring the Gucci branding, while drivers Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto are likely to enjoy perks from this collaboration. Additionally, minority investors such as Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, Rory McIlroy, and Anthony Joshua, who invested in the team previously, may also benefit from this luxury association.
