The deal will commence in Formula E’s upcoming 2018/19 championship.
Heineken’s Formula E presence will first be seen at the fifth season’s third round in Santiago.
Heineken’s FE sponsorship will be visible at the remaining Formula E races. Ofcourse “in the way it will be legally possible to do so,” according to the company.
Formula E CEO thinks that the deal is “fantastic for Formula E”.
“The main thing that was attracting us to [FE] – the first thing is Formula E is in cities and Heineken is a city-brand around the world,” he told Motorsport.com.
“That’s a fantastic way for us to reach out to new consumers and to activate the platform where we lead every day as a brand – so the big cities.
When it comes to question; “what about F1, does it harm in some way?” The answer was clear.
“Formula 1 is not looking at Formula E as a competitor”.
