Mercedes to run one-off livery at Singapore GP

Mercedes will run a one-off livery at this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix.

The car will be predominantly green in recognition of the team’s title sponsor Petronas celebrating its 50th anniversary.

Mercedes’ regular livery this season has been black and silver, but in Singapore the silver sections will be replaced by Petronas’ corporate colour.

“Our partnership with Petronas is our longest standing and still going strong,” team boss Toto Wolff said. “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.”

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton added: “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.”
