Cepsa Extend Toro Rosso F1 Sponsorship

Cepsa and the Scuderia Toro Rosso Formula 1 team have announced they have renewed their official sponsorship agreement, online which will be effective for the 2013 season.

Cepsa started this sponsorship in September 2011 and now reaffirms its commitment to Formula 1. 2013 will therefore be the third year that the energy group has been a partner of the team. 

Cepsa’s brand will be again visible on the Australian driver Daniel Riccardo’s and the French driver Jean-Eric Vergne’s race suits and on the nose, shop rear wing and rear wing endplates of the cars. A new feature of this year’s world championship will be CEPSA’s product placement in the pit box. 

Cepsa’s Co-Chairman, clinic Santiago Bergareche, remarked that: “CEPSA is a proud supporter of the Scuderia Toro Rosso, which represents a major leap forward in our international expansion and the best possible showcase for technology and innovation at the very highest level of motor sport. We believe that Scuderia Toro Rosso shares many of our values and we look forward to enjoying a successful and mutually beneficial partnership throughout the year.” 

Scuderia Toro Rosso Team Principal, Franz Tost, commented that “having CEPSA another season on board means a lot to Scuderia Toro Rosso. CEPSA is one of Spain’s leading companies and, just like Formula 1, it is expanding its operation all around the world. Although closer to home, we and CEPSA will both enjoy performing in front of their home crowd. The team has continued to expand over the past year in terms of our facility in Faenza, so we are in better shape than at any time in our eight year history. Here at Scuderia Toro Rosso, we are keen to repay the confidence CEPSA has shown in us.”
