Mercedes Reveals Special Livery for Singapore Grand Prix
A Celebratory Tribute to Petronas’ 50th Anniversary
Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team has revealed a stunning new livery for the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix, celebrating a significant milestone for their long-standing partner, Petronas. The special edition features a predominantly green color scheme, a striking homage to Petronas’ 50th anniversary, dramatically contrasting the black and silver livery that has been a hallmark of the team’s cars throughout the current season.
Petronas, a global energy giant, has been a cornerstone of Mercedes' success in Formula 1. Toto Wolff, Mercedes' Chief, underscored the importance of this partnership, remarking, "Our partnership with Petronas is our longest standing and still going strong. For any company to reach its 50th anniversary is an incredible milestone. To do so having grown to one of the foremost global energy companies is incredibly impressive. We look forward to continuing our relationship for many more years to come, and with exciting challenges ahead such as the introduction of sustainable fuels in 2026. This livery is therefore not only a celebration of their 50th anniversary, but a reflection of Petronas' importance in our team's story and honours our journey together."
A Night to Shine in Singapore
The all-new livery will make its debut under the resplendent lights of the Marina Bay Street Circuit, renowned for its night-time setting. The Singapore Grand Prix is a highly anticipated event in the Formula 1 calendar, known for its challenging street circuit and electrifying atmosphere. This year, the green hues replacing the usual silver sections on the Mercedes car will surely draw attention.
Seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton expressed his enthusiasm for the new look. "The livery looks incredible. I can't wait to see it on the car in the garage tomorrow and then to get behind-the-wheel on Friday. I am sure the fans will love seeing it up close and it will shine brightly under the lights of Singapore," said Hamilton, adding to the anticipation surrounding the debut.
Fans are expected to flock to the Marina Bay Street Circuit to witness not only the visual spectacle but also the high-stakes competition, as teams navigate one of the most grueling tracks on the tour. Mercedes aims to make a dramatic visual and performance impact, leveraging the special livery to celebrate past accomplishments and reaffirm their commitment to future goals.
Symbolizing Enduring Excellence
The special livery is more than just an aesthetic change; it symbolizes the enduring excellence, innovation, and collaborative spirit that define the Mercedes-Petronas relationship. This celebration arrives at a critical juncture as the team and their partners gear up for future challenges, including the introduction of sustainable fuels scheduled for 2026. Such initiatives signal Mercedes' and Petronas' commitment to advancing technological frontiers while spearheading efforts toward sustainability in motorsports.
Within the Mercedes camp, there is an air of optimism and celebration. The change in livery not only honors the journey and achievements of both entities but also invigorates the team and its supporters for the battle ahead in Singapore. The visual impact of the green livery, set against the vibrant backdrop of the city’s night race, promises an unforgettable sight for fans and competitors alike.
As Mercedes looks to the future, the steadfast partnership with Petronas remains a focal point. Such collaborations are vital in propelling the team towards new heights, blending their storied history with bold innovations.
