Shell signs new innovation partnership with Scuderia Ferrari

Ahead of the 2015 Formula One Italian Grand Prix, Shell has announced that it will become the Innovation Partner of Scuderia Ferrari for the next five years, as part of a new agreement that will see the pair work closer together than ever before.

Shell will continue to provide Scuderia Ferrari with its performance fuels and lubricants package: Shell V-Power race fuel and Shell Helix Ultra bespoke motor oil. Beyond that, Shell has also committed to continue to dedicate at least 21,000 man hours and 50 full time technical staff to the Innovation Partnership every year.

As part of this, Shell will have a permanent technical staff presence at Ferrari's Maranello headquarters going forward, a measure of the increased collaboration to come between the two companies.

Shell's partnership with Ferrari will also stretch beyond Formula One, with Shell set to provide fuel and lubricants to Ferrari GT teams entering the FIA World Endurance Championship and the Le Mans 24 Hours.

In keeping with this agreement's spirit of innovation, Ferrari will also support Shell's global Eco-marathon programme going forward, offering members of the successful teams a four-week internship in Maranello.
