TGR Haas F1 Team and Vellamo Extend Partnership with Multi-Year Collaboration

The renewed agreement elevates Vellamo's presence within the team through a more significant global partnership, reflecting the brand's recent commercial success and ambitious expansion plans. As part of the extension, Vellamo branding will move to a more prominent position on the rear of the wing mirrors of the team's VF-26 challenger, increasing visibility throughout the FIA Formula 1 World Championship calendar.

Vellamo joined the team as its ‘Official Hydration Partner’ from the 2025 United States Grand Prix, providing premium natural mineral and spring water to hydrate the entire TGR Haas F1 Team operation, as well as drivers Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon. They have recently been named the world’s best sparkling water by Tastingbook.com, coming out on top of 14 of the world's most prominent design and premium sparkling waters through a rigorous, two-stage blind tasting.

The partnership has become particularly visible within the Formula 1 paddock thanks to distinctive Vellamo-branded water bottles used by drivers. Featuring unique race-specific designs, as seen in Japan, Miami and Canada so far this season, the bottles have become both a stylish accessory as well as a crucial performance aid on race weekends.

“Since joining last year, Vellamo has become a valued part of our operation, supporting everyone across the team, while sharing our commitment to performance and continuous improvement,” shared Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal at TGR Haas F1 Team. “This expanded collaboration reflects the strength of the relationship we've built together, and we're excited to continue pioneering the importance of hydration within the sport.”

“What began as a partnership centered around hydration has evolved into a true collaboration built on shared values,” added Teemu Oksa, Chief Executive Officer at Vellamo. “TGR Haas F1 Team represents performance, determination, and the courage to compete against the very best in the world. Those same principles have guided Vellamo from a small Finnish water brand to one of the fastest-growing premium water brands globally. Extending this partnership is a natural next step as we continue expanding globally. Together, we are demonstrating that premium hydration is an essential part of peak performance, whether in the cockpit, the garage, or the hospitality environment.

“One of the aspects of this partnership we are most proud of is bringing creativity and storytelling into the Formula 1 paddock through our unique race-specific water bottles. Inspired by the culture, heritage, and character of selected grand prix destinations, these bespoke designs pay homage to each host location while creating a distinctive connection between the sport, the fans, and the places Formula 1 visits. We look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of what a brand partnership can be. We are excited about what the future holds and proud to continue this journey alongside TGR Haas F1 Team.”
