Formula 1 ace appointed Vredestein ambassador
Three-time Formula 1 race winner Giancarlo Fisichella has been recruited as ambassador to support testing and development of Apollo Tyres’ premium Vredestein passenger car tyre brand.
Apollo said on July 18 Fisichella (pictured) started his activities under the two-year agreement in June. He led the Vredestein team during the latest edition of the 1000 Miglia classic car rally in Italy.
Racing from Brescia to Rome and back, Fisichella made his debut for the Vredestein brand behind the wheel of a 1953 Simca Aronde S.
Vredestein’s premium brand has been the official tyre partner of the 1000 Miglia since 2017.
Apollo’s commercial VP Yves Pouliquen said Fisichella will help guide the company’s R&D teams as they bring new products and technical innovations to market.
