Since 2020, Formula 1 fans have grown familiar with the Aramco name gracing tracks around the world. Behind this high-profile presence is Amin Nasser, President and CEO of Aramco, whose strategic leadership has transformed the energy giant and Formula 1 partnership into a powerful global platform for innovation, education, and sustainability.

Under Nasser’s direction, Aramco became a global F1 sponsor in March 2020, securing trackside branding, race title rights, and strong media integration. But this partnership goes far beyond logos and airtime. Nasser sees Formula 1 not just as a sport, but as a catalyst for change. By aligning with one of the world’s most technologically advanced competitions, Aramco showcases its commitment to cleaner energy solutions and future-facing technology.

Crucially, Nasser has championed the F1 in Schools program—a global STEM competition that challenges students to design, build, and race miniature F1-style cars. This initiative nurtures the next generation of engineers, scientists, and innovators. For Nasser, it’s more than outreach; it’s about investing in the world’s future problem-solvers, mirroring the precision and innovation seen on the F1 grid.

Nasser’s leadership has positioned Aramco as not only a key player in the world of motorsport but also a voice for progress in energy and education. By bridging the thrill of Formula 1 with sustainability goals and global learning, he’s helping write a new kind of racing legacy that goes beyond speed to shape the future.

In the high-stakes world of Formula 1, where milliseconds and innovation make all the difference, Amin Nasser ensures that Aramco stays ahead of the curve—on the track, in the lab, and classrooms around the globe.
