In 2026, Pirelli will sponsor the longest-running races in the history of the championship – the FORMULA 1 BRITISH AND ITALIAN GRANDS PRIX

In 2026, Pirelli will be the Title Sponsor of the British Grand Prix and the Italian Grand Prix, the two historic races that have featured on the Formula 1 World Championship the most times.

This year, the Italian company passed the 500 mark of Formula 1 Grands Prix participations and next year, it will put its name to the race weekends in Silverstone (3 -5 July) and Monza (4-6 September).

These two races are the only ones to have been part of the World Championship, under the same name, every year, since it was established in 1950. They have therefore been on the calendar 76 times, an outright record for Formula 1.

As Formula 1’s Global Tyre Partner, Pirelli can also boast a long tradition in the sport. Established in 1872, Pirelli is the tyre supplier with the most participations in Formula 1 (505 as of today) dating back to the very first championship race.

The 1950 British Grand Prix at Silverstone was in fact won by Giuseppe Farina at the wheel of a Pirelli-shod Alfa Romeo. That same year, the Italian driver also won the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, the final round of the season.

Silverstone and the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, then as now the venues for their respective national Grands Prix, are two of the three most historic permanent circuits still on the calendar, the other being Spa-Francorchamps.

Monza, the Temple of Speed, is Pirelli’s home race, its headquarters being just a few kilometres from the track. It was inaugurated over a century ago and immediately became the favoured venue for testing the Milan-based company’s road tyres.

Tradition and history will therefore intertwine once again next year through this sponsorship, bringing the races entitled FORMULA 1 PIRELLI BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2026 and FORMULA 1 PIRELLI GRAN PREMIO D’ITALIA 2026 to the calendar.
