F1 fans OUTRAGED as new sponsor set to lead to 2025 race change
Following the announcement of PepsiCo becoming an official partner of Formula 1 until 2030, fans expressed their anger on social media.
The move includes brands like Sting Energy and Doritos, with Gatorade named the official partner of F1 sprint races in 2025, sparking criticism among fans.
While some supported the partnership, others criticized the Americanisation of F1 and the increasing commercialization of the sport.
The agreement will take effect from the Belgian Grand Prix onwards, extending to the remaining sprints in Austin, Sao Paolo, and Qatar.
F1 president Stefano Domenicali praised the partnership, highlighting the excitement and global impact it will bring to fans and customers.
