The Ferrari outfit is one of the most recognizable names in the world of motorsports. They have been competing in F1 from the very beginning and do not face any stiff competition when it comes to acquiring sponsors.

However, ahead of the 2024 F1 season, it has come to light that the world-renowned Spanish Beer giant, Estrella Galicia has parted ways with Ferrari after a three-year run. They have tied up with the Zak Brown-led McLaren outfit for the upcoming year.

Brown is thrilled with the woking-based team’s new association and while talking about it recently, he said, as reported by Motorsport:

We’re thrilled to have Estrella Galicia back racing with us as official beer partner. With a great tradition within F1, Estrella Galicia is a brand that matches our energy for innovation, and we’re excited to have them alongside us once more as we go into the new season.

Looking at the reaction of the Brit, it seems that he is very excited about Estrella Galicia joining McLaren’s ranks once again. Moreover, has indicated that the Spanish brand fits perfectly into what the team is trying to do in F1.

McLaren had a more recognizable campaign than Ferrari in 2023

While Estrella Galicia has jumped ship to McLaren for the upcoming campaign, Ferrari did not have the best of seasons last year. This could be one of the reasons behind the Spanish brand’s recent switch.

The Maranello-based team ended their campaign in third place in comparison to McLaren’s fourth, but despite this, the latter was the one that experienced more high moments during the 2023 F1 season.

Lando Norris and Co. are high on confidence after the comeback they pulled off last year and certainly are in a better position in comparison to Charles Leclerc and his Ferrari F1 team. Keeping everything into view, the 2024 F1 season will be a fascinating watch from the point of view of the fans.
