Lenovo becomes Global Partner of Formula 1 in renewed deal

As part of the deal, Motorola, a subsidiary of Lenovo Group, will become Global Smartphone Partner of F1.

Formula 1 and Lenovo announced the extension of its partnership that will see the technology giant elevated to a Global Partner in a multi-year renewal starting from the beginning of 2025. As part of the deal, Motorola, a subsidiary of Lenovo Group, will become Global Smartphone Partner of F1.

As a Global Partner of Formula 1, Lenovo will continue to provide F1 with state-of-the-art technology devices, solutions and services to support the delivery of Grands Prix at track and remotely. Under the agreement, Lenovo will serve as the title sponsor for two races per season and Lenovo and Motorola will have increased trackside branding at events. 

Since 2022, Lenovo technology has been at the heart of F1’s operations as an Official Partner. Through its on-site High-Performance Computing (HPC) solutions, servers and edge devices, Lenovo has been supporting Formula 1 in its delivery of its best-in-class broadcast product, bringing the drama and excitement of F1 to millions of fans around the world, with a truly global team that’s always-on. Lenovo hardware – including laptops, workstations, desktop computers and monitors, as well as tablets and Motorola smartphones – provide F1 staff with high-quality equipment to create engaging, customised content for the sport’s ever expanding and passionate fanbase.

Additionally, Lenovo’s Asset Recovery Service supports F1’s wider sustainability strategy, alongside its efforts to reduce emissions and reach Net Zero by 2030. Lenovo’s Asset Recovery Service helps ensure that retired computing hardware is recycled in a socially and environmentally conscious manner. Since the beginning of the partnership, F1 has sustainably disposed 95% of obsolete hardware, which ultimately helps to reduce costs and mitigate security risks through reliable data destruction with enhanced security.

Throughout the partnership, Lenovo has aimed to integrate smarter technology into the sport. The world’s first kiss-activated trophies at the FORMULA 1 LENOVO JAPANESE GRAND PRIX 2023 and FORMULA 1 LENOVO UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX 2023, along with this year’s laurel wreath design, combining tradition and innovation, elevated the podium celebrations and serve as strong symbols of Lenovo’s drive for purposeful design and cutting-edge technology.

In recent years, F1 has seen a significant growth in popularity, with increased television audiences, record attendance and fan engagement across all platforms. Both F1 and Lenovo share a commitment to sustainability and the exploration of next generation technologies, like Lenovo AI PCs, AI-enabled Motorola smartphones and AR/VR solutions.

Through direct collaboration between F1’s technical teams and Lenovo’s Centres of Excellence, highly innovative solutions are being found to a variety of challenges, such as the use of onsite and Edge Compute AI solutions to improve operational efficiency during live F1 broadcasts. Together, F1 and Lenovo will continue to build on years of successful collaboration to develop the future of the sport.
