Petronas And Mercedes-AMG F1 Renew Contract, To Develop Sustainable Fuel For 2026 Race

Petronas and Mercedes-AMG F1 (Formula One) Team have agreed on a multi-year renewal of Title and Technical Partnership from 2026 onwards since they joined forces back in 2010.

Under the new partnership, Petronas and the Silver Arrows team will look into developing a standard-setting 100 percent advanced sustainable fuel for the 2026 power unit regulations by the International Automobile Federation (FIA).

Petronas President and Group Chief Executive Officer Datuk Tengku Muhammad Taufik said the synergy and shared ambition of both parties will deliver a pathway to responsibly provide the sports and our customers with energy that is cleaner and more sustainable. Given the accumulated experience as a team over the last decade and the technical capabilities and expertise sourced from our combined talents, Petronas looks forward to charting the next chapter with a focus on advanced sustainable fuel for Mercedes and its customer teams.

“Together with our partners, Petronas will keep pushing boundaries with our Fluid Technology Solutions through innovative offerings. At the heart of our efforts will be sustainability as we all progress towards a lower-carbon future,” he said. Earlier, the partnership agreement was signed by Tengku Muhammad and Mercedes-AMG F1 Team CEO and Team Principal Toto Wolff.

Wolff said Petronas has begun the development of the advanced sustainable fuel and is being tested with the future power unit.

“From 2026, advanced sustainable fuel will be at the heart of F1 performance where we have the opportunity to demonstrate our expertise through both power unit and Petronas Fluid Technology Solution,” he added

Recently, the FIA World Motor Sport Council approved a new power unit regulation where the two key aspects are increased electrical power and 100 percent sustainable fuels to be effected from the 2026 season.
