Mercedes Unveils Special Petronas Tribute Livery for Singapore Grand Prix
In an exciting development ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, Mercedes has revealed a special livery that pays homage to Petronas’ 50th anniversary. This significant milestone for the global energy giant, which has been a long-standing partner of the Mercedes team, will see their iconic green color feature prominently on the racing car, replacing the usual black and silver sections.
The new livery is set to make a striking visual impact under the bright lights of the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Known for its night-time setting and challenging street course, the Singapore Grand Prix promises to showcase the redesigned car in all its glory. With fans expected to fill the circuit, anticipation is high for both the aesthetics and performance of the Mercedes team.
Toto Wolff Praises Petronas Partnership
Mercedes' Chief, Toto Wolff, expressed his immense pride in the enduring partnership with Petronas. “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,” Wolff remarked. Highlighting the forward-looking spirit of their collaboration, he added, “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.”
Hamilton's Enthusiasm
Mercedes' star driver, Lewis Hamilton, also shared his excitement about the new livery. “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,” Hamilton said. His enthusiastic endorsement adds to the buzz surrounding the Grand Prix weekend and the unique visual spectacle Mercedes aims to deliver.
A Tribute to Past and Future Achievements
The special livery is not just an aesthetic change but a symbol of enduring excellence, innovation, and the collaborative spirit between Mercedes and Petronas. It celebrates past accomplishments while reaffirming a commitment to future goals, most notably the introduction of sustainable fuels in 2026. This move underscores the progressive vision shared by both entities, emphasizing their role in shaping the future of the sport.
In the past season, Mercedes has stuck with a predominantly black and silver livery. The shift to a green color scheme for this special occasion signifies more than just a change in colors; it marks a deep and enduring relationship built on mutual trust and shared aspirations. The energy and optimism within the Mercedes camp are palpable, with everyone looking forward to making an impressive impact both visually and on the performance front at the Singapore Grand Prix.
The Singapore Grand Prix, often highlighted for its unique night-time setting, is the perfect backdrop for debuting this eye-catching livery. With its demanding street circuit, the race is a favorite among fans and drivers alike. This year, the enhanced visual experience brought by the Mercedes-Petronas collaboration adds another layer of excitement to the event.
As the weekend approaches, all eyes will be on the Marina Bay Street Circuit to see how the new livery enhances the presence of the Mercedes team. With Hamilton's confident words and Wolff's strategic vision, expectations are high for not just a memorable visual display but also a competitive performance on the track.
