Spanish multinational financial services company, Santander, has been announced as a Founding Partner of the Spanish Grand Prix 2026, following a new multi-year partnership. Santander will have prominent branding at the circuit and also host other content and various fan activations. The Spanish Grand Prix 2026 will be taking place in Madrid, Spain between September 11 – September 13, 2026. The Spanish Grand Prix, which is one of the oldest races on the Formula One calendar, will move to Madrid for the first time in 2026 with a new street circuit, the Madring, set to welcome the grid.

Santander has been a long-standing partner of Formula One and other teams like Ferrari and McLaren. 

José Vicente de los Mozos, Chairman of the Executive Committee of IFEMA MADRID, said,

“IFEMA Madrid is delighted to welcome Santander as a Founding Partner of the Spanish Grand Prix. Having a partner of this calibre is essential to driving forward an event that will mark a turning point in the history of F1 in Spain.”

Juan Manuel Cendoya, global head of Communications, Corporate Marketing and Research of Santander and vice chair of Santander Spain, added,

“This agreement is a natural step in our commitment to Formula 1. Madrid is such a vibrant, thriving city, and the bank wants to support this world-class event and offer our customers unique experiences as we do at the Grands Prix in our core markets, which generate significant economic impact for the host cities. Spain is one of those markets, with two races scheduled for next year.”
