The announcement, attended by Team Principal Ayao Komatsu and drivers Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman, marks a significant step for TGR Haas as they gear up for the new technical regulations era.<\/p>\n

Singha\u2019s distinctive branding will feature prominently on the team\u2019s 2026 challenger, the VF-26, as well as on race suits and team apparel. This partnership extends beyond mere visibility, encompassing a range of marketing initiatives, fan engagement activities, and exclusive hospitality experiences designed to bring VIPs and guests closer to the adrenaline-fueled action in key global markets.<\/p>\n

Singha Corporation, renowned for its flagship beer and an expanding portfolio of sodas, has a storied history in Formula 1. The brand first entered the sport in 2009 with Red Bull Racing, where it enjoyed prominent placement during a victorious era, including the Japanese Grand Prix that year.<\/p>\n

It later aligned with Ferrari from 2016, leveraging its association with 2007 World Champion Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen, and extended to Alfa Romeo Racing in 2019, with renewals through 2022. This latest move to TGR Haas reflects Singha\u2019s ongoing \u201cGlobal Sports Partnership\u201d strategy, which emphasizes support for elite international competitions and aligns with F1\u2019s massive worldwide audience.<\/p>\n

The collaboration underscores shared values of excellence, innovation, and global ambition. TGR Haas, which officially adopted its title sponsorship from Toyota Gazoo Racing in December 2025, is entering 2026 with renewed vigor. The VF-26, revealed in January 2026 with a striking white-and-red livery, represents the team\u2019s commitment to modern methodologies and a fresh generational energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team\u2019s recent direction has been centered around strengthening innovative thinking, modern methodologies, and the energy of a new generation,\u201d said Ayao Komatsu.<\/p>\n

\u201cSingha is an organization whose vision aligns closely with our strategic objectives. We believe this partnership will enable both parties to move forward together toward sustained success. We are confident that each race will bring excitement not only to Formula 1 fans in Thailand, but to audiences worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Voravud Bhirombhakdi, First Senior Executive Vice President and Board Director of Boon Rawd Brewery Co., Ltd., and CO-CEO of Boon Rawd Trading Co., Ltd., added: \u201cSingha has always placed great importance on our \u2018Global Sports Partnership\u2019 strategy \u2013 aligning with some of the world\u2019s most prestigious sporting competitions. Formula 1 remains one of our most significant global platforms, given its immense commercial value and worldwide audience reach.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn supporting TGR Haas F1 Team, we have engaged closely with a dynamic leadership group representing a new generation with modern vision and progressive thinking \u2013 values that align strongly with Singha\u2019s direction. We are confident this partnership will grow into a strong alliance, achieving success together on the global stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Formula 1 embarks on its transformative 2026 season, TGR Haas F1 Team will kick off their campaign at the Australian Grand Prix in Albert Park, Melbourne, from March 6-8. With this new alliance, the team aims to leverage Singha\u2019s heritage and global appeal to enhance their competitive edge on the track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a press conference held in Bangkok, TGR Haas F1 Team unveiled an exciting new collaboration with Singha…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":489840,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-489839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=489839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
