It is rare that we get to write about Irish involvement in Formula 1, Kingspan’s brief engagement with Mercedes excepted, at least since the days of Eddie Jordan, but today we bring news that TransferMate, headquartered in Kilkenny and part of the CluneTech Group is to be a sponsor of the Haas F1 team from this weekend.
As an official ‘Team Partner’, to the US-based team, famed through Netflix Drive to Survive as the team of Guenther Steiner and now of Mick Schumacher, TransferMate will provide cross-border payments services through its unrivalled global payments infrastructure.
The TransferMate logo will be featured on the Haas F1 Team’s VF-22 car and the apparel of drivers Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher throughout the 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
“We’re delighted to welcome TransferMate and we look forward to a productive working partnership in 2022 and beyond,” said Steiner, Team Principal of the Haas F1 Team.
“It’s clear that as a brand TransferMate prides itself on the delivery of the very best product. We share that ethos and ultimately, we’re both in sectors where innovation is rewarded and actions need to be executed with confidence and precision. Efficiency is key to everything we do in Formula 1 and working with TransferMate adds another deliverable to our operations.”
“We’re delighted to become an official team partner of Haas F1 Team,” added Sinead Fitzmaurice, CEO of TransferMate Global Payments – a subsidiary of CluneTech.
“The partnership brings together two like-minded organizations, each with a strong commitment to challenging norms through innovation.”
“We’re looking forward to seeing our partnership group throughout the 2022 Formula 1 season. It promises to be a very exciting year for both ourselves and the Haas team. It’s only fitting that we’re joining forces on the road ahead and setting new standards of excellence for the future.”
The 2022 FIA Formula 1 World Championship continues with Round 4, the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, this Sunday, April 24 – hosted at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Imola in Italy.
