Mick Schumacher’s first Indianapolis 500 will be run with primary sponsorship from the North American arm of German assembly and fastener materials manufacturer Würth Group.
Würth moves into the primary position on Schumacher’s No. 47 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Honda as ENVE, which has taken multiple races as his primary, shifts to an associate role for the race.
“The partnership between RLL and the Würth Group is an exciting opportunity to support a young German rookie like Schumacher,” said Würth’s Kurt Weinhardt. “It’s inspiring to see a rookie compete in the Indy 500, one of the most iconic races in the world. As a strong German brand, Würth is proud to support him at the start of his IndyCar journey.”
The deal is the latest one struck by team president Jay Frye.
“This partnership brings together two iconic German names for one of the most legendary events in the world – the 110th running of the Indy 500,” Frye said. “Together, we’re celebrating a shared commitment to performance, precision, and innovation on racing’s biggest stage.”
Würth is visible as the title sponsor of the Würth 400 presented by Liqui Moly in the NASCAR Cup Series in Fort Worth, TX, as well as sponsoring two cars in the Cup Series. Würth also supports MotoGP as the official tool supplier.
Outside of motorsports, Würth recently extended its long-term commitment to international handball through a partnership with the IHF Men’s and Women’s Handball World Championships through 2029, including the Men’s Handball World Championship which will be held in Germany in 2027.
Würth also has a strong presence in soccer, as a partner of the German Football Association, the Italian Football Federation and referees in LaLiga, Spanish soccer’s top professional division. Würth also has strong presence in alpine skiing, hockey, water polo, and the Special Olympics, among others.
Schumacher, the son of legendary seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher, is in the midst of his first season in INDYCAR competition.
