What happened: Aston Martin Aramco will collaborate with Padeltek on a project bringing Formula One and padel together. The team framed the move as taking to the padel court.

Why it matters: The move extends the team's commercial footprint beyond grand prix weekends into participation sport. Cross-sport tie-ups have become a routine way for F1 teams to reach new audiences between races.

What to watch: Watch for further details on scheduled events or products under the collaboration.
