TGR HAAS F1 TEAM ANNOUNCES MULTI-YEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH TENEX.AI FOR 2026 AND BEYOND

TENEX.AI will deliver fully agentic, human-led SOC capabilities and automated 24/7/365 threat detection across TGR Haas F1 Team’s global digital infrastructure.

KANNAPOLIS, NC, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — TGR Haas F1 Team is pleased to announce a new multi-year official partnership with TENEX.AI, the AI-native, human-led security operations company. The partnership commences at the 2026 United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, on October 23-25.

Under the agreement, TENEX.AI will deliver fully agentic, human-led Security Operations Center (SOC) capabilities and automated 24/7/365 threat detection across TGR Haas F1 Team’s global digital infrastructure. In an environment where high-speed telemetry, remote engineering data and trackside networks move between the circuit and the factory, agentic AI investigates every alert in seconds, obvious attacks are stopped at machine speed, and a named TENEX.AI analyst owns the consequential decisions. The team’s data stays in its own environment, and every step is visible and auditable.

As an Official Partner, TENEX.AI branding will feature on the engine cover and halo of the VF-26. Beginning in 2027, the partnership will also extend to the driver race suits, team and management apparel, and F1 Academy assets.

Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal, TGR Haas F1 Team:
“We’re delighted to welcome TENEX.AI to TGR Haas F1 Team as an Official Partner. In modern Formula 1, data protection and rapid cyber incident response are as vital to performance as aerodynamic efficiency. TENEX.AI’s fully agentic, human-led approach will give our engineers and strategists the confidence to focus entirely on track performance. We look forward to building a powerful, technology-driven partnership together for the remainder of 2026 and the seasons ahead.”

Eric Foster, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, TENEX.AI:
“A Formula 1 team is one of the most connected operations in sport, and it moves at a pace where a threat sitting in a queue for hours is a real problem. That is what TENEX.AI was built for. Agentic AI investigates every alert in seconds, and a named analyst owns every consequential decision. We’re proud to bring that to TGR Haas F1 Team, and proud to put our name on an American team competing at the top of the sport.”
