Aramco comes to F1 Japan Grand Prix

The Formula 1^® Japan Grand Prix will visit the Suzuka Circuit, a high-speed track that has proved popular with many drivers over the years following a two-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Aramco’s long-term global sponsorship with the international race was announced in 2020, marking the company’s first global sponsorship of a major sporting event and connecting Aramco with a worldwide audience of 500 million racing fans.

Held toward the end of the Formula 1^® season, the Japan GP has developed a reputation for deciding season title-holders. Thirteen out of past 34 Japan GP winners have ultimately won the world championships.
