Formula 1 News: Haas team signs multi-year deal with Vellamo Water
MoneyGram Haas F1 Team announced a new partnership today with Vellamo Water, a premium natural mineral water and spring water brand, as its ‘Official Hydration Partner’, commencing from the Formula 1 MSC Cruises United States Grand Prix 2025 in Austin, Texas, on October 17-19.
Vellamo Water is a premium natural mineral and spring water brand, sourced from the Salpausselkä Ridges in Heinola, Finland. Formed over 10,000 years ago by glacial activity, this region filters the water through layers of granite, sand, and moraine gravel, resulting in exceptional purity, high alkalinity (pH 8.3), and rich electrolyte content.
The multi-year partnership combines the high-performance world of Formula 1 with the Finnish company’s commitment to excellence, precision, and innovation. Vellamo Water branding will feature on the VF-25, driver helmets and water bottles, as well as in the team’s hospitality. The collaboration will also see the creation of tailored hydration solutions, leveraging Vellamo’s naturally high electrolyte content to support performance and recovery under the intense conditions of Formula 1.
Vellamo’s commitment to sustainability, including the use of recyclable glass bottles and the introduction of revolutionary new packaging materials in the 2026 season, as well as its dedication to environmental stewardship, complements the innovative spirit of MoneyGram Haas F1 Team. This partnership not only elevates performance but also champions environmental responsibility, resonating with fans and consumers worldwide.
“Vellamo Water is a fantastic addition to our partner portfolio,” shared Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal of MoneyGram Haas F1 Team. “Their premium water, sourced from Finland’s Ice Age aquifers, aligns with our pursuit of excellence. Hydration is critical in our sport, and Vellamo’s pure, electrolyte-rich water will help our drivers and team personnel perform at their best throughout the demanding F1 season.”
“We are thrilled to partner with the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team as their Official Hydration Partner,” said Teemu Oksa, CEO of Vellamo Water. “Formula 1 demands peak performance, and Vellamo’s pure, mineral-rich water, nurtured by Nordic nature, is perfectly suited to fuel the team’s success. Our global footprint and dedication to quality align seamlessly with the dynamic energy of motorsport, and we’re excited to support MoneyGram Haas F1 Team on the world stage.”
