The Russian company wants to become a title sponsor of one of the teams, having huge funds for this. According to the publication, the company is interested in signing a 4-year contract, paying up to 35 million euros per year.
Gazprom is currently in talks with Toro Rosso, which will be called Alpha Tauri from next year, or with Renault. However, the presence of Russians in Formula 1 should not end there, since the company is also interested in having at least several teams in the names of the season.
There is also the possibility that Gazprom will follow the path of Orlen and invest in Williams, which urgently needs money. The current title sponsor of the team in which he participated in the season that ended on Sunday, RoKiT, pays about 20 million euros annually, which is almost half as much as the Russian giant could pay.
Of great importance in Gazprom's desire to appear in Formula 1 is the fact that the concern seeks to achieve neutrality in terms of carbon dioxide emissions. The Russian company is very happy to appear in a sport that supports environmental activities.
