Ferrari Extends Historic 50-Year Partnership with Brembo

Ferrari has renewed its long-standing technical partnership with brake manufacturer Brembo, extending a collaboration that has been fundamental to its racing success for over half a century. The new multi-year agreement deepens the relationship, naming Brembo as a technical partner for both its Formula 1 team and its Hypercar program in the World Endurance Championship (WEC).

Why it matters:

In the precision world of Formula 1, stability and trust with critical suppliers are invaluable. A 50-year partnership represents a rare depth of shared knowledge and engineering synergy. Extending this deal ensures continuity and a collaborative push for innovation in a key performance area—braking—as Ferrari battles on two premier racing fronts: F1 and the top class of endurance racing.

The details:

• The renewed agreement solidifies Brembo's role beyond a supplier to an official technical partner for Scuderia Ferrari HP in Formula 1 and the Ferrari Hypercar project in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).
• Expanded Scope for 2026: Starting in 2026, Brembo will supply the complete braking system, including both hydraulic and friction components, for Ferrari's F1 cars and its 499P Hypercars.
• This integrated supply is designed to meet the "most extreme demands" of both racing categories, where braking performance is critical for lap time and race strategy.
• The partnership has already borne fruit in endurance racing, with the Brembo-equipped Ferrari 499P winning the Endurance Constructors' title in 2025, ending a 53-year drought for the manufacturer in that championship.

What's next:

The deal locks in a key technical alliance for Ferrari's future regulatory cycles. With major F1 technical regulations arriving in 2026, having a seamless partnership with a brake supplier is one less variable in a complex equation. The joint focus on innovation, quality, and performance will be tested immediately as Ferrari continues its pursuit of championships in both Formula 1 and the WEC.
