Scuderia Ferrari driver Alonso visits Shell Lab

The two-time Formula 1 World Champion and Scuderia Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso, 31, visited the Shell Technology Centre Hamburg recently. Among other things, the Spaniard went to see laboratories and test facilities in the heart of the motor fuel research and development department at Shell. Prior to the German Grand Prix at Nürburgring, Alonso praised Shell’s long-standing technical partnership with Ferrari in Formula 1. One of the reasons for his visit was that the premium race fuel Shell V-Power Racing, which has been designed according to motor racing findings, has been available on the German market with a new improved formula since June. Alonso was impressed by his tour of the research facility in Hamburg and stated: “I have been extremely impressed to come here and witness the work in person. It’s a great opportunity for me looking at huge work on development.
