Louis Vuitton to partner F1’s Australian Grand Prix

F1 has now announced that Louis Vuitton will be the title partner of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, where the LV name will feature on trackside signage and their Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunks will be presented to celebrate the top three drivers on the podium.

Louis Vuitton’s presence at the Australian GP will be a first for the brand at any sporting event as F1 prepares to move into a new era with LVMH.

In 2023, research found that Louis Vuitton was the world's most valuable global luxury brand, estimated to be valued at a staggering $124.8 billion.

Speaking as part of the deal's announcement, F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali hailed Louis Vuitton as a global icon: “We are thrilled to welcome Louis Vuitton as title partner for our first 2025 race,”

“This is a partnership between two global icons linked first and foremost by their great passion for innovation, excellence, and creativity, which makes them two exceptional timeless stories.

“The entry of Louis Vuitton not only enhances the experience of our sport, but celebrates the union of luxury, craftsmanship, and the highest expression of automotive competition.

"2025 will be an epic year for Formula 1 and I am proud to start it with our passionate partners at Louis Vuitton.”
