GALLERY: Mercedes unveil special one-off livery for Singapore Grand Prix
Mercedes have unveiled a special livery that will adorn the W15 during the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, featuring shades of green in place of the team's traditional silver colours.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the squad’s technical and title partner PETRONAS, the company’s emerald green will replace most of the silver on the car’s front wing and sidepods.
With the PETRONAS headquarters situated in Kuala Lumpur in neighbouring Malaysia, Mercedes opted to mark the milestone as F1 heads to the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
“Our partnership with PETRONAS is our longest standing and still going strong, and for any company to reach its 50th anniversary is an incredible milestone,” said Team Principal Toto Wolff.
“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.”
The new look has earned praise from Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, with both drivers looking forward to racing with the one-off livery under the lights in Singapore.
“The livery looks incredible,” Hamilton commented. “I can’t wait to see it on the car in the garage and then to get behind-the-wheel on Friday.
“It’s a privilege to celebrate this milestone, and our journey together, at such an important race.”
Russell added: “The design looks brilliant and is a fantastic tribute to such a milestone achievement. It is great to be able to recognise the importance of our relationship at the race closest to their home.”
After the race weekend, Wolff, Hamilton and Russell will travel to Kuala Lumpur to continue the celebrations.
