Williams Racing and Gulf Oil International Announce Long-Term Partnership

Williams Racing is delighted to announce a multi-year partnership with Gulf Oil International, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of oils and lubricants.

Gulf’s partnership with Williams Racing is another significant signing for the team as it continues its transformative journey across the business, demonstrating the new era of commercial investment for Williams Racing since its acquisition by Dorilton Capital.

Williams Racing and Gulf will write the next chapter of Gulf’s eminent motorsport story, expanding the partnership beyond the Formula 1 team. In addition, Gulf will partner with the Williams Racing Driver Academy and Williams Esports. This expansion ultimately works for Gulf to play a part in contributing to junior motorsport drivers’ careers and showcasing industry access for all.

The high-octane partnership will see the vibrant colours of Gulf adorn the new FW45, race driver suits, pitstop gantry and some of the team’s key pitstop personnel. Several high-profile marketing initiatives throughout the year will embody a shared vision of a bright modern future for motorsport, both on and off the track.

Activations with the Williams Racing Driver Academy and Williams Esports will ensure Gulf can reach new audiences and play a role in the success stories of younger generations. The forward-thinking partnership will also comprise future-forward and digitally-enabled fan engagement opportunities to help bring fans of Williams Racing, Gulf and Formula 1 closer to the sport they love.

Matthew Savage, Chairman of the Board of Williams Racing, said, “I am incredibly excited about this partnership between Williams Racing and Gulf, a renowned and trusted global brand, who have put their trust in us as a long-term partner.
