Mobil 1 and McLaren celebrate 20-year partnership in Formula One

As the 2014 Formula One season kicks off this weekend at the Australian Grand Prix, ExxonMobil and McLaren will be celebrating the 20^th anniversary of their technical and commercial relationship. In honour of the major milestone, the McLaren Formula 1 cars will feature a special livery in Australia that will include both Mobil 1 and Mobil brands. 

In addition to commemorating this 20-year relationship, ExxonMobil is also celebrating the return of the Mobil fuels brand at 7-Eleven Australia's convenience stores on the Australian east coast metropolitan markets.

ExxonMobil Australia is Australia's oldest petroleum company, operating since 1895. The company began its relationship with McLaren in 1995, with its Mobil 1 synthetic lubricant brand, developing new lubricants and fuels designed to help improve the race team's performance, efficiency and reliability.

McLaren has a strong record in Melbourne, with six of the team's 11 Australian Grand Prix wins coming at this Albert Park track. Jenson Button has won the race three times, and twice with McLaren Mercedes.
