Official Logistics Partner of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula One team!



On the right track for more success! 


We are thrilled to announce our continued sponsorship as Official Logistics Partner of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula One Team.  We have again enjoyed high profile involvement in Grand Prix racing, a sport which engages, enthrals and excites the world. In true team spirit, there’s no greater achievement than coming first – and winning the F1 Drivers’ World Championship title last season made us very proud to work with the best.

Worldwide appeal

At FedEx, we see sports marketing and sponsorship as a vital way to reach prospects and customers within organisations, united by a common interest, all over the world. Last season we benefitted from exposure to a monitored worldwide cumulative TV audience of 2.62 billion. 17 Grands Prix spread over five continents make this a truly global platform to build on brand recognition and to sustain visibility.

Ready for the next challenge

After a sensational season in 2008 when he was crowned the youngest ever F1 Drivers’ World Champion, Lewis Hamilton is again re-united with team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, hungry for the next challenge. The Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula One Team has already achieved remarkable results including 12 Drivers' World Championships and 8 Constructors' World Championships.

A natural fit

We pride ourselves on forging enduring relationships with organisations sharing the same values as FedEx Express: leadership, teamwork, integrity and a relentless commitment to "be the best". It’s this powerful combination which propels us to the front of the competitive field and sharpens our focus on the next challenge - another successful year with a new opportunity to win the championship titles!
