Mercedes Unveils Stunning New Livery in Tribute to Petronas’ 50th Anniversary at Singapore Grand Prix
In a remarkable gesture of tribute and celebration, Mercedes has rolled out a special livery to mark the 50th anniversary of Petronas, their long-standing partner. The unveiling of the special green-themed livery is set to make waves as the team gears up for the Singapore Grand Prix, a race renowned for its night-time setting and demanding street circuit.
This year, Mercedes’ iconic black and silver livery, which has been a staple throughout the season, is making way for a fresh, predominantly green color scheme. The new look brings a splash of Petronas’ corporate identity to the forefront, replacing the usual silver sections of the car with Petronas’ green. This nod to Petronas serves as more than just an aesthetic shift; it’s a celebration of a partnership that has weathered the test of time and continues to thrive.
“Our partnership with Petronas is our longest standing and still going strong,” remarked Mercedes’ Chief, Toto Wolff. "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.”
There is palpable excitement within the Mercedes camp, as both the team and fans eagerly anticipate how the new livery will look under the iconic lights of the Marina Bay Street Circuit. The anticipation is shared by star driver Lewis Hamilton, who has openly embraced the new design.
“The livery looks incredible,” Hamilton shared with enthusiasm. "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."
The Singapore Grand Prix, with its unique night-time conditions and challenging layout, is a fitting stage for such a significant reveal. As fans flock to the Marina Bay Street Circuit, the visual transformation of the Mercedes car is expected to garner much attention and admiration.
It’s not just about aesthetics, though. Mercedes is determined to pair its striking new look with a formidable performance on the track. The special livery is a statement of both their past accomplishments and a reaffirmation of their future ambitions, with a keen focus on innovation and excellence.
The introduction of sustainable fuels in 2026 looms as a pivotal milestone for both Mercedes and Petronas, marking another chapter in their storied partnership. Every detail of the new livery reflects this forward-thinking approach and the collaborative spirit that has defined their relationship over the decades.
As the weekend draws near and the lights go up in Singapore, the mood within the Mercedes camp is one of optimism and celebration. The team aims to make an indelible impression, both visually and in terms of performance, showing the world that their collaborative endeavors are as strong and vibrant as ever.
This special livery for the 50th anniversary of Petronas not only celebrates past triumphs but also sets the stage for the challenges and innovations that lie ahead. It is a symbol of enduring excellence, innovation, and the power of a well-tuned partnership, one that continues to push the boundaries of what can be achieved in the high-octane world of Formula 1.
