Prior to its merger with HP in 2002, Compaq sponsored the [[Williams Racing]] [[Formula One]] team (then known as WilliamsF1 at the time) beginning in January 2000,<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www1.compaq.com/pressrelease/0%2C1494%2Cwp~14583_2%21ob~24274_1_1%2C00.html|title=Compaq Enters the Formula One Championship with the BMW WilliamsF1 Team|website=Compaq.com|date=2000-01-24|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000815224820/http://www1.compaq.com/pressrelease/0,1494,wp~14583_2!ob~24274_1_1,00.html|archive-date=2000-08-15|access-date=2024-12-07}}</ref> which also coincided with the team's first use of [[BMW engines]] for their cars as part of a then-partnership with [[BMW]] at the time. The company sponsored the [[2000 British Grand Prix|2000]] and [[2001 British Grand Prix]], with all of their cars and team equipment featuring prominent Compaq branding throughout among other brands. After Compaq was acquired by HP in 2002, HP inherited and continued the sponsorship deal for a few more years, replacing the Compaq branding on all cars and team equipment with the HP branding following the 2002 merger. HP then sponsored the [[2002 British Grand Prix]] up until the [[2005 British Grand Prix]], the latter of which also marked the last time the team used BMW engines for their cars before switching over to [[Cosworth]] engines [[2006 British Grand Prix|the following season]].
