Williams F1 Team Announces Multi-Year Partnership with Sparco
The Williams formula 1 team has announced a multi-year partnership with Sparco, begining with the 2026 season. Sparco will serve as the official racewear and technical apparel supplier for the Grove-based outfit.
the deal will see Sparco providing race suits for Williams drivers Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon, as well as the team’s F1 Academy driver, members of the Williams F1 Team Driver Academy, Williams Heritage, sim racing drivers and the mechanics.
This isn’t a new collaboration; Sparco previously partnered with Williams in the 1990s, a period during which Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, and Jacques Villeneuve all secured drivers’ championship titles while wearing Sparco race suits.
“Atlassian Williams F1 Team warmly welcomes sparco as our Racewear and Technical Apparel Supplier as we enter a new regulations era for Formula 1,” said Luke Timmins, director of merchandise and licensing. “Sparco is a part of Williams’ storied history and we look forward to finding the next step in performance alongside them.”

It is a return built for what comes next: we bring new expertise,advanced materials and an even more disciplined,measurable approach to performance.”
Bellazzini continued,“As the team enters F1’s new regulations era,we are proud to bring our experience to the drivers and the team,translated into technical equipment developed to the highest standards of global motorsport.”
Currently, private testing for the 2026 F1 season is underway in Barcelona. While Williams is not present due to delays with the FW48, the team is focusing on virtual testing before heading to Bahrain for further testing from February 11-13. The 2026 season will kick off with the Australian Grand prix at Albert Park from March 6-8.
