FORMULA 1: PIRELLI WILL BE THE MAIN SPONSOR OF THE GRAND PRIX IN 2026

Pirelli will continue to be the Title Sponsor of the Italian Grand Prix in 2026: the Milan-based company announced this today in a statement that the Autodromo Nazionale Monza has shared on its website.

In addition to Monza, Pirelli will also be the main sponsor of the British Grand Prix, highlighting the fact that it will link its brand to two of the most historic races with the highest number of editions in the Formula 1 World Championship.

The Italian company, which has surpassed 500 Grands Prix in Formula 1 as a supplier this year, will flank the Silverstone (July 3-5) and Monza (Sept. 4-6) race weekends next year.

The British Grand Prix and the Italian Grand Prix are the only two races held continuously each year since the birth of the World Championship in 1950, retaining the same title. Both events have reached 76 editions, an all-time record in Formula 1 history.

The sponsorship of Pirelli, Formula 1’s Global Tyre Partner, will thus unite protagonists of long tradition. Founded in 1872, the company with the long P is the tire supplier with the most Grand Prix participations (505 to date), starting with the very first race.

In fact, the 1950 British Grand Prix at Silverstone was won by Giuseppe Farina at the wheel of an Alfa Romeo equipped with Pirelli tires. That same year, the Italian driver also won the Italian Grand Prix, the last race of the season, at Monza.

Silverstone and Autodromo Nazionale Monza, then as now the venues of their respective national Grand Prix, are two of the three most historic permanent circuits still on the calendar (along with Spa-Francorchamps).

The Temple of Speed in particular, a home race for Pirelli, which is headquartered just a few kilometers from the track, was inaugurated more than a century ago and immediately became the reference track for testing the Milanese company’s road tires.

Tradition and history will therefore intertwine again next year thanks to this sponsorship, which will bring the FORMULA 1 PIRELLI BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2026 and the FORMULA 1 PIRELLI GRAN PREMIO D’ITALIA 2026 to the calendar.
