(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Visa (NYSE: V) today announced a multi‑year renewal and expansion of its global partnership with Red Bull F1 Team’s Oracle Red Bull Racing and Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.

Building on the groundbreaking partnership launched in 2024, the renewed agreement reinforces Visa’s commitment to one of the world’s fastest‑growing sports, while introducing significant new branding rights, enhanced hospitality assets and immersive experiential opportunities across both teams. Visa will also continue as a Title Partner of both Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula One Team and its F1 Academy Programme, further strengthening Visa’s presence on and off the grid.

“This renewal reflects the extraordinary momentum we’ve built with Red Bull Racing Teams, Visa Cash App Racing Bulls and Oracle Red Bull Racing, and our shared ambition to push what’s possible at the intersection of sport, culture and commerce,” said Frank Cooper III, Chief Marketing Officer, Visa. “Both Red Bull Formula 1 Teams give us a dynamic global platform to connect with fans, clients and cardholders in powerful, authentic ways — and this next chapter expands how we show up across the sport.”

Expanded Partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing

As part of the renewed agreement, Visa will maintain its position as a key partner of Oracle Red Bull Racing while adding new, high‑impact on‑car branding placements, led by continued prominence on the front wing of RB22. Visa has also secured exclusive rights within the retail banking category, alongside expanded pass‑through rights.

Visa’s strengthened relationship with Oracle Red Bull Racing will extend to F1 Academy through the Red Bull Racing Academy Programme. As the all-female series enters its fourth year, Visa will match Red Bull’s commitment by supporting two cars on the grid, solidifying its backing across all Red Bull teams in F1 and F1 Academy. The enhanced partnership unlocks a broader portfolio of premium experiences and an even greater access to the Team.

Paul Gandolfi, Chief Commercial Officer, Oracle Red Bull Racing, said: “In a short space of time, Oracle Red Bull Racing and Visa have fostered a partnership built on collaborative effort and mutual success. With Red Bull, we sit at the epicentre of sport, entertainment and lifestyle meaning we are strategically positioned to bring globally recognised industry leaders, like Visa, into the sport as we embark on a new era of Formula 1.”

Bringing Red Bull teams to Fans Beyond the Track
