Santander changed its strategy as a sports brand and joined the Champions League in the 2018-2019 season, the highest European football competition at club level.
Now, he will once again be a sponsor of Ferrari, whom he has accompanied for eight championships since 2010, the year in which Fernando Alonso arrived at the Italian team. Thus the category returns, in which they entered in 2007, also accompanying the two-time Asturian champion.
Remember all the cars that have carried the flame logo or the name of Santander in their decoration, on the rear wing and other parts of the car. It also reviews the pilots who have been signed by the Spanish bank and the great prizes with degrees from Santander.

The Spanish company returns to the most successful team in the history of Formula 1 after leaving the category in 2018. In that campaign, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen were the drivers of the Maranello team, and they finished in second position in the constructors, behind Mercedes.
After two difficult campaigns, Ferrari opted for Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc as its starting drivers for the 2021 season, and they managed to recover from the poor sixth position of 2020. The Spaniard finished in fifth position in the championship, behind the Red Bull drivers and Mercedes, while Leclerc was seventh.
The union with the Italian team comes at a time when the man from Madrid enters into negotiations with Ferrari after his great year, and returns to an association similar to that of 2010-2014, when Fernando Alonso was dressed in red.
In their experience with another Spaniard driving for Ferrari, they achieved three runner-up finishes and 11 victories, although they came very close to celebrating the 2010 and 2012 titles.
Santander was also with the McLaren team. The financial company landed in the Woking team thanks to the arrival of Fernando Alonso in 2007, and they stayed there until 2014, just one season before the Spaniard returned.
