Mercedes Opens the Season with a Winning Double in Australia!

The Australian Grand Prix marked a triumph for Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1: the team brilliantly secured a one-two finish in the first race of the new Formula 1 season!

Building on the success of a confident qualifying session, where their drivers locked out the first two spots on the grid, Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 maintained total supremacy on the track. George Russell claimed the sixth victory of his career, while Kimi Antonelli stood on the second step of the podium. This one-two finish is the 61st in the team's history. The sheer pace of the 'Silver Arrows' left their rivals far behind: only four drivers managed to finish without being lapped.

It is worth recalling that since 2010, Petronas Lubricants International has been the strategic technical partner and title sponsor of Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1. This partnership has played a decisive role in securing eight consecutive Constructors' World Championships (2014–2021). PETRONAS supplies the team with advanced fuels, Syntium engine oils, as well as Tutela transmission and cooling fluids, which guarantee the maximum power and reliability of modern racing cars.
