BWT Alpine Formula One Team and Eni announced the return of Eni to the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, as the Italian company becomes the team’s Official Energy and Fuel Partner on a multi-year agreement.

The announcement marks a return of Eni to an Enstone-affiliated team since the brand’s last involvement with a team in Formula One with Benetton in 2000. The team will collaborate with Eni to activate its Enilive brand at select races throughout the 24-race season.

As a Premium Partner of the team, Eni branding will be visible on the A525, the team’s challenger for the 2025 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, and on the race overalls and helmets of its full roster of drivers, which will be unveiled at the F175 Launch Event at the O2 Arena, London, on 18 February.

Eni’s presence will further extend to the pit-stop crew and throughout the entire BWT Alpine Formula One Team ecosystem and racing environment, which includes a future collaboration aimed at assessing and analyzing innovations in fuel technologies and the development of bio-gasoline for racing at the pinnacle of motorsport.

It is with immense pride that we welcome Eni back to Formula One with BWT Alpine Formula One Team. Eni formed a great part of our history at this team and has also, in the past, been an important partner in Formula One. We share common goals and objectives, especially in regard to energy efficiency, sustainability, and future bio-gasoline products. To have them back on board at BWT Alpine Formula One Team is great and we look forward to doing many exciting things together in future both on and off the track.

—Flavio Briatore, Executive Advisor, BWT Alpine Formula One Team

Eni and Renault Group also announced an agreement to identify and develop future opportunities for collaboration in the decarbonization of the transport sector.

Under the terms of the agreement, the companies will work towards identifying joint business development paths across various sectors, including electric mobility infrastructure, smart mobility services, and energy supply solutions that can support the transition process.

A first tangible achievement of this agreement will be the acquisition of Renault vehicles by Enjoy, Enilive’s car sharing service.
