PUMA announced Charles Leclerc, Formula 1 star and Scuderia Ferrari HP driver, as the newest global ambassador for the brand. With this partnership, PUMA solidifies its position as the leading brand in motorsport and expands its influence beyond the racing circuit.
Charles Leclerc has continued to showcase his exceptional talent and skill, solidifying his position as one of the top drivers in Formula 1. Leclerc has demonstrated his exceptional qualifying prowess and raw speed, with three pole positions this season. His most memorable achievements came with two prestigious victories—first at the iconic Monaco Grand Prix, his home race, where he thrilled local fans with a dominant win, and later at Monza, where he conquered the famed “Temple of Speed” in front of the passionate Tifosi.
The strategic partnership aims to drive awareness for the brand, connecting with fans of both motorsport and fashion and reinforcing PUMA’s impact in these spaces.
The collaboration will spotlight Leclerc in a range of high-profile PUMA collections, with a particular emphasis on the PUMA Motorsport for Scuderia Ferrari collections, across various global channels.
“We are more than excited to welcome Charles to the PUMA family. His unique blend of being a professional athlete in Formula One and a fashion enthusiast off the track makes him a perfect fit for our brand. Charles will not only serve as a motorsport ambassador but he will also play a vital role in various projects and initiatives that extend beyond the racetrack. There are a lot of exciting projects in the pipeline, and we can’t wait to continue shaping our motorsport legacy together with Charles.” said Arne Freundt, CEO of PUMA.
“I’m very happy to become a member of the PUMA family. There are so many iconic PUMA athletes that I looked up to when I was younger. Now, to be able to be part of the same family is a special moment for me. PUMA is the perfect match to support me on my journey to consistently improve as an athlete by supplying me with their latest designs and via the support of PUMA´s team and athletes. I am really looking forward to being only one phone call away to share experiences and to have the support of the PUMA Family and to dive into joint projects with the brand on- and off-track,” said Leclerc.
