FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Formula One Sensation Ollie Bearman and CeX Announce Partnership for 2026
LONDON, UK – January 28, 2026 – Ollie Bearman and CeX, the leading global specialist in second-hand consumer technology and gaming, have today announced a major new sponsorship partnership which will run for the duration of the 2026 Formula One season.
The collaboration unites the youngest ever British Formula One driver and one of the most promising young drivers in world motorsport with a brand that has spent over 30 years making gaming and technology more accessible. As Bearman embarks on his second full season in Formula 1 with the TGR HaasF1 Team, following a standout rookie campaign, the partnership celebrates the deep connection between modern racing and the world of gaming and tech.
From the Console to the Cockpit
Ollie Bearman represents a new breed of athlete who has grown up as comfortable with gaming and tech as he is with a car’s steering wheel. Unlike F1 drivers of the past, Bearman is a digital native; he utilises sim racing games and hardware as part of his training to sharpen his reflexes and master international race tracks.
"I’m really excited to be working with CeX," said Ollie Bearman. "I’ve been a gamer my whole life, and I use simulators to stay sharp between races. CeX is a brand I’ve known since I was a boy - it’s where so many people go to get the gear they need to start their own gaming journey. There’s a natural fit between the precision of F1 and the games and tech that CeX specialises in."
A Shared Focus on Performance and Sustainability The partnership will see the CeX logo featured on Bearman’s race suit and base layer, along with unique content and competitions featuring on his social media platforms throughout the 2026 F1 calendar. The collaboration focuses on three core pillars:
"Ollie is a phenomenal talent who embodies the connection between gaming and elite performance," said David Mullins, Managing Director of CeX. "He proves that the bridge between the virtual and the physical is real. We are proud to support a driver who shows our customers that with dedication and the right tech, you can aim for the top of any field."
