On the new partnership, Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN, commented,
“We welcome PUMA to the Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN family with open arms. Like our team, their brand has a long and proud history in sports and has become synonymous with quality and innovation. They are going to help us deliver performance, not just by enabling our drivers and crew to train and compete with the latest gear, tailored to their needs, but also by pushing their research and development efforts to provide ever better equipment. We are excited to work with them this year and to develop the relationship between PUMA and our drivers – Valtteri, who has worked with them for a long time, and Zhou, who will be wearing PUMA gear as he writes history this weekend as the first F1 driver from China.”
James Clark, Head of Sports Marketing Motorsport, PUMA, added,
“We are more than delighted to join forces with Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN as official race gear supplier. Alfa Romeo has got a long legacy in Motorsport being one of the founding fathers of Formula One. The passion for Motorsport is what connects us. In addition, the driver constellation is really exciting. We are really looking forward to supporting Zhou Guanyu as the first Chinese Formula One pilot. He will be a milestone to push the sport in his home country further on. Moreover, it is a pleasure to continue working together with Valtteri Bottas, who has been part of the PUMA Family since 2017 already. Great potential in the cockpit of the Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN and I can´t wait to see them on their chase for the podium.”
