A high-speed story of passion, innovation and the future

Once again this year, we are on tracks across the world as a Premium Partner of BWT Alpine Formula One™ Team. The collaboration, launched in 2025, marked Eni's return to the Circus after 25 years, back on board a racing single-seater. In the 2026 season, our logo features on the A526 car competing in the 2026 FIA Formula One™ World Championship, as well as on the drivers' and technicians' suits.

A partnership with a strategic vision

The central role of  technology and sustainability is also a fundamental theme for the new era of F1™, with initiatives that aim to make performance increasingly technologically advanced and at the same time increasingly sustainable. In this context, Eni is the Official Energy and Fuel Partner of the BWT Alpine Formula One™ Team under a multi-year agreement that also involves the Renault Group with new programmes for mobility and energy.  This strategic partnership is an example of how Eni intends to contribute to the development of advanced energy technologies and solutions, to align with the mobility needs of an ever-changing world.

We have chosen to showcase this commitment through Innovation Tracks, a web series that opens the doors to the places where innovation is always running at maximum speed: inside Eni’s research centres and at the BWT Alpine Formula One™ Team headquarters in Enstone, UK.  These are the places where people and technologies work together to deliver goals with a forward-looking vision. “Because the challenges faced on the track mirror the challenges that energy is facing today,” says Francesco Gattei, Chief Transition & Financial Officer at Eni.   

The partnership between Eni and BWT Alpine Formula One™ Team also comes to life through special events and initiatives.

The experience at the Autodromo Nazionale in Monza with Più Insieme

During the first weekend of September 2026, as part of the Italian Grand Prix, the luckiest winners of Eni’s loyalty programme had the opportunity to enjoy three days of exclusive experiences with the BWT Alpine Formula One™ Team drivers. It was an opportunity to discover and share the values underpinning the partnership. 

The launch event in London

On 23 January, the BWT Alpine Formula One™ Team unveiled its 2026 single-seater at an event hosted on board the MSC World Europa cruise ship, moored in Barcelona. The new BWT Alpine Formula One™ Team A526 is driven by Pierre Gasly, number 10, and Franco Colapinto, number 43, while the livery of the single seater, featuring the Eni logo, introduces electric blue shades as a new colour element.
