The TGR Haas F1 Team has announced a new multi-year partnership with Exein, naming the runtime cybersecurity firm its Official Physical AI Security Partner.

The deal begins with this weekend’s Moet & Chandon Belgian Grand Prix.

Founded in Rome, Exien’s runtime cybersecurity technology protects more than two billion connected devices across sectors including automotive, industrial automation, energy, healthcare, aerospace and robotics.

The company’s approach focuses on securing physical AI, humanoid robotics and connected devices from within, building protection into a device’s deepest layer rather than around it.

As part of the deal, Exein branding will appear on the rear wing of Haas’s VF-26 from this weekend onward.

The two organisations will also collaborate on initiatives around cybersecurity, innovation and technological excellence within high-performance environments.

“Formula 1 is built on innovation, precision and the confidence that every system performs exactly as intended,” said Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal at Haas.

“As our sport continues to embrace increasingly advanced technologies, cybersecurity has become an integral part of that landscape.

“We’re proud to welcome Exein to our team, as their expertise in protecting Physical AI systems aligns naturally with the technical environment we operate in.”

Gianni Cuozzo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Exein, framed the partnership around a shared emphasis on precision and engineering standards.

“Formula 1 represents one of the world’s greatest demonstrations of engineering excellence, where every detail matters and continuous innovation is essential to staying competitive,” he said.

“Those same principles have shaped Exein from day one. We’re proud to partner with TGR Haas F1 Team, bringing together two organisations united by a passion for technology, precision and performance on the global stage.”
