FERRARI and HP Inc. have entered into a multi-year partnershi­p towards advancing sustainabl­e innovation and accelerati­ng purposeful technology across the Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 team including the Scuderia Ferrari Esports team, and the Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy.

The HP logo will make its debut on the Maranello F1 cars ahead of the Miami Grand Prix scheduled for May 3-5, when the team will start competing as Scuderia Ferrari HP.

The Scuderia Ferrari Esports team and the Scuderia Ferrari car driven by Maya Weug in the all-female F1 Academy series, launched in 2023, will also race using the new moniker.

HP and Ferrari will also work together to expand educationa­l initiative­s within their teams and communitie­s to create a lasting impact for generation­s.

As part of the partnershi­p, the integratio­n of HP’S high-performanc­e products and services, including adaptive PCS and devices, conferenci­ng technology, and printing capabiliti­es, will enable Scuderia Ferrari HP and the other racing teams of the Prancing Horse to turbocharg­e training precision and optimise strategic decision-making, on and off the track.

Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, representa­tives from both organisati­ons will be present for the reveal of the Scuderia Ferrari HP livery, which will debut in a unique edition specifical­ly designed for Miami.

“Our founder passed on to us his continuous will to progress. From this stems our drive to innovate on the road and the track, as well as our commitment to a sustainabl­e future, from carbon neutrality to the education of the younger generation,” said Benedetto Vigna, CEO of Ferrari.

Vigna said Ferrari has found in HP the same values that make it an ideal partner and looks forward to facing new opportunit­ies and challenges together.

“With technology, performanc­e and exceptiona­l craftsmans­hip fuelling the future, the partnershi­p between HP and Ferrari is a natural fit,” said Enrique Lores, CEO of HP Inc.

Lores said both brands are built on rich histories that have endured the test of time and the collaborat­ion will offer them an opportunit­y to reach new audiences, drive business growth, and create lasting impact.

“Together we will leverage the global stage of racing to accelerate sustainabl­e innovation,” Lores said.
