This partnership, which began in 2004, has proven to be a successful collaboration, with DHL providing reliable and efficient logistics services to Formula 1 events around the world.

As the Official Logistics Partner of Formula 1, DHL is responsible for delivering all of the equipment, cars, and supplies needed for each race, as well as managing the transportation of personnel and materials between races.
