Williams F1 announces new partnership with long-term Carlos Sainz sponsor

Williams Racing has officially revealed its collaboration with Estrella Galicia 0,0, naming the non-alcoholic beer brand as its official beer partner for the upcoming 2026 Formula 1 season and beyond.

This partnership will prominently feature Estrella Galicia 0,0 branding on the halo and rear wing endplate of the FW48, along with placements on the helmets and race suits of drivers Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon. Additionally, the beer will be available in the hospitality suites at European races hosted by the Grove-based team.

Estrella Galicia has a long-standing relationship with Sainz, supporting him since his early days in GP3.

“With a completely new car, fresh regulations, and an exciting new race in Madrid, there will be much for the Atlassian Williams F1 Team to celebrate with Estrella Galicia 0,0 this season,” stated Williams team principal James Vowles.

Vowles expressed enthusiasm about having Estrella Galicia join the team during this thrilling phase for both the organization and the sport itself.

Ignacio Rivera, the executive president of Corporación Hijos de Rivera, remarked, “This alliance with the Atlassian Williams F1 Team marks a significant milestone in our motorsport journey. It transcends a mere partnership; it symbolizes the union of two entities that share a deep-rooted respect for competition, a commitment to innovation, and a mutual goal of growth through authenticity.”

Rivera emphasized Estrella Galicia 0,0’s dedication to initiatives that nurture talent, celebrate heritage, and challenge established norms to forge a better tomorrow. He looks forward to the start of the season to expand on the successes of this collaboration.

The FW48 is set to hit the track for pre-season testing in Bahrain from February 11-13, followed by another session from February 18-20.

The 2026 Formula 1 season is scheduled to kick off with the Australian Grand Prix taking place from March 6-8.
