Formula One's Singapore Grand Prix has confirmed that Singapore Airlines (SIA) will continue as title sponsor of the race for three more years.
Held at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, the first outing for the extended sponsorship will be on 2nd October, the 17th race of the 2022 Formula One season.
SIA first signed as the title sponsor in 2014 for four years, and subsequently extended it in 2018 and 2020 for two years respectively. This latest three-year extension was announced by SIA executive vice president commercial, Lee Lik Hsin, and Formula One managing director of commercial, Brandon Snow.
“This year’s highly anticipated Formula One Singapore Grand Prix will be an important milestone for Singapore, marking the return of a major international sporting event to the city after a two-year disruption due to the pandemic,” said Lee.
“The race will be warmly welcomed by Singapore residents and visitors alike, and will enhance our reputation as a global city. SIA’s extension of its title sponsorship signals our continued support for both tourism and sports, complements the expansion of our global network, and will bolster Singapore’s recovery as a key international air hub.”
Snow added: “We are pleased that Singapore Airlines will continue to be the title sponsor of the Singapore Grand Prix for another three years. The Singapore Grand Prix is the original Formula One night race, an iconic Formula One event loved by fans and drivers, and it returns to the calendar after two years away.
“This year’s race will see further use of renewable energy and sustainable materials, and the commitments from Singapore Airlines towards sustainable aviation fuels reflect the continued alignment between all partners and Formula One in reducing environmental impact.”
