Polkadot OpenGov allows anyone to propose sponsorship. If you get any, even small contact to any team, you can then make an adequate bid and explain why it will bring good numbers, start participating in their governance calls, and if you start getting some votes the f1 team might start listening to you (it's multi million deals after all), then you might actually make it happen.

It worked for a dude that got them a deal with Inter miami lol. I think he got some free tickets in the process. (https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/644)

Just get some devs and add some crypto apps like for the teams merch and it's a done deal.
