The Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team announced on Tuesday
that the Mexican America Movil group will sponsor the Italian outfit from 2015
onwards.
The confirmation of the new sponsorship deal comes just one
day after Ferrari announced that they have signed former Sauber F1 Team driver
Esteban Gutierrez as their official test and reserve driver. The Mexican joins
the Italian team’s line-up after two years racing with the Sauber F1 Team.
The new sponsorship will see America Movil Group’s brands
Telcel, Claro and Telemex appear on the 2015 Ferrari chassis. Their logos will
also appear on the race overalls of race drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian
Vettel throughout the 2015 Formula One season aswell as on Esteban Gutierrez’s
team wear.

The agreement comes as Formula One returns to Mexico City
for the first time since 1992. The America Movil Group already sponsor the
Sahara Force India Formula One team through their Claro brand.
America Movil is a leading telecommunications company in
Mexica and across Latin America and Europe.
