NGK Spark Plugs has announced the continuation of its 20-year partnership with the Scuderia Ferrari team for the 2015 F1 season. The company, which this year celebrates its 40th anniversary in the UK and Ireland, says its strong co-operation with the legendary Italian race team is growing year by year.

NGK’s motor sport pedigree has contributed to more than 300 wins in Formula One races and a total of 32 World Driver and Constructors’ Championships. This partnership with the Maranello team has been especially fruitful and dates back to 1996, when NGK began supplying the team with spark plugs. It has since delivered successful results for both companies in the form of six World Driver and eight Constructors’ Championships.

The renewed partnership between the two brands is now even stronger and will see NGK develop ad-hoc products for the vehicles driven by Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen and this technological momentum will be reflected by the NGK brand on Maranello’s cars.

Marko Wowczyna, Automotive Director, NGK Spark Plugs said, “The NGK sticker on Scuderia Ferrari’s Formula One cars is the seal of many years of close collaboration with Maranello’s engineers with  results and success which are second-to-none.” He added, “We are proud to continue our work with Scuderia Ferrari and display our brand on the most prestigious cars in motorsports that will be running for victory again this year.”
