A LUXURY Scotch whisky has been appointed "official team partner" of the Scuderia Ferrari HP Formula 1 team in a new global multi-year partnership.
The collaboration sees Chivas Regal and Scuderia Ferrari HP - the world's most successful Formula 1 team - come together ahead of the 2025 season.
Through behind-the-scenes access, the whisky brand hopes to showcase a new take on the world of motor sports, alongside exclusive content and live experiences.
Launched in 1909, Chivas has been integral to the growth of the Scotch whisky category worldwide - selling more than 4.6 million 9L cases every year.
The partnership will also be used as a powerful platform for Chivas Regal to raise awareness about the dangers of drink-driving, to drive positive impact amongst a global audience of passionate racing enthusiasts.
The integrated campaign, which is due to launch next year, will follow recent responsible drinking campaigns run by Chivas Regal in markets such as Mexico and Japan.
Frederic Vasseur, Formula 1 team principal at Ferrari, commented: "We are pleased to announce our partnership with Chivas Regal, with whom we share the values of striving for excellence, attention to detail and craftsmanship - founded on years of tradition, while constantly evolving.
"Together, we share the desire to progress and set the benchmark in our respective fields of endeavour. I look forward to working with Chivas Regal in a partnership that will be beneficial for both brands."
Jean-Etienne Gourgues, chairman and CEO of Chivas Brothers, makers of Chivas Regal, added: "This partnership marks a significant gear shift as we accelerate into a new era in sports culture for Chivas Regal. Since its foundation, Scuderia Ferrari HP has been a true pioneer at the forefront of culture, making it the perfect partner for us to usher in this new chapter.
"In the fast-moving world of Formula 1, success is a team effort - something that sits at the heart of Chivas Regal's mission of 'I Rise, We Rise'.
"We are passionate about using this new platform to engage today's growing and increasingly diverse community of racing fans in the 2025 season and beyond, and leveraging the collective reach of our brands to ensure motorsports fans around the world know to never, ever, drink and drive."
Lorenzo Giorgetti, Ferrari chief racing revenue officer, added: "We are delighted to announce the partnership with Chivas Regal, a dynamic brand entering the world of top-level motorsport for the first time, in collaboration with Scuderia Ferrari HP. We will work together on exciting and innovative activations to bring Formula 1 even closer to its fans, expanding the Scuderia Ferrari HP fan base and that of our sport in general."
