F1 ACADEMY<\/a>, through immersive glam bars and fan activations at select races.<\/p>\nThis deal also includes a partnership with F1 Paddock Club, the luxury hospitality suite, and will see SEPHORA\u2019s iconic Glam Bars available to Paddock Club guests at 18 Grands Prix across the 2026 season, further elevating the event experience.<\/p>\n
SEPHORA is also proudly sponsoring a new end-of-year drivers\u2019 celebration spotlighting progress and performance across the season. This event will be a first for the series and highlights SEPHORA\u2019s focus on winning together and celebration.<\/p>\n
As part of this landmark global partnership, SEPHORA will also aim to inspire a global community of beauty consumers and the next generation of female drivers through its support of Spanish driver Natalia Granada, who joins the 2026 F1 ACADEMY grid for her rookie season.<\/p>\n
Granada will compete in the \u2018SEPHORA operated by PREMA\u2019 car, featuring a livery inspired by the brand\u2019s signature black-and-white stripes and bold red accents.<\/p>\n
Granada completes the fulltime driver lineup for the 2026 F1 ACADEMY season, which begins this week in Shanghai as F1 ACADEMY once again supports the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix. Having impressed during the inaugural F1 ACADEMY rookie test in 2025, her promotion to a full-time seat marks a step forward in her development and highlights the strength of the pathway into F1 ACADEMY for emerging talent.<\/p>\n

“Support like this is incredibly important for female drivers, and it\u2019s empowering to have a brand that truly believes in our ambitions. I\u2019m really looking forward to what we can achieve together this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
