Mercedes AMG, Petronas extends partnership.

Things are only getting better for Mercedes AMG and Petronas as they win race after race on the F1 circuit. While Nico Rosberg of Mercedes AMG Petronas and his teammate Lewis Hamilton celebrated their latest wins at the Monaco Grand Prix, Mercedes AMG and Petronas announced their long-term extension of its title partnership.

Petronas is a Malaysian national oil and gas company. The new agreement was unveiled in Monaco at a signing ceremony during the Grand Prix event. The ceremony was attended by Tan Sri Dato' Shamsul Azhar Abbas, President & Group CEO of Petronas, Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management, Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars and Toto Wolff, Head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport.

The partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Petronas is very old, dating back to 2010, when the Silver Arrows work team joined the grid for the first time since 1955 and revived one of the most prestigious traditions in Motorsport.

In the meantime, the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team spent more than three years working closely with the Malaysian oil major to co-engineer a brand new range of customized fuels and lubricants that help to provide a competitive edge on the track in 2014 and beyond. The results are obviously showing!

The characteristics of the all-new Petronas Primax fuel and the way it performs during combustion are key to an efficient, powerful and reliable engine operation. The Petronas Syntium lubricants play a crucial role ensuring reliable performance of the Power Unit itself, especially in newly introduced features such as the turbocharger that has more demanding fluid requirements.

Meeting these challenges has been achieved through Petronas Fluid Technology Solutions – an intelligent approach to fluid requirements that maximizes performance through tailor-made product offerings and expert services, says a company press release.
