Sherwin-Williams will join as an Official Team Partner and will become Mercedes’ supplier of automotive paints and coating for their F1 cars. The company already has been a long-time partner of Mercedes’ Formula E team, and the new agreement will see Sherwin-Williams continue to deliver technology and production application to enhance the team’s performance.

Brian Gallagher, President and General Manager, Automotive Finishes Division, Sherwin-Williams, commented:

We are thrilled to support the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team in this new partnership, and are confident that our 150+ year history of quality and innovation will continue to be an asset to its car performance on and off the track.

Balancing the aerodynamic and weight requirements of painting a Formula One car, whilst creating a perfect finish and applying a stunning livery that excites and engages our fans and partners, is a challenge we relish each year.
