The Germany SailGP Team presented by Deutsche Bank joined the league with determination in Season 4, adapting quickly and embracing the steep learning curve of high-speed racing. Led by two-time Olympic medalist Erik Kosegarten-Heil, the team is packed with high-profile talent. Owners Thomas Riedel and four-time Formula 1 Champion Sebastian Vettel have supported the team since day one, with Deutsche Bank joining as a partner in Season 4, and stepping up as co-title partner in the 2025 Season. This season brings two other milestones: Germany’s first Sail Grand Prix and nationwide broadcasting by ZDF.
