Mercedes presents special Petronas livery for Malaysia's first Formula 1 race since 2017.

Mercedes revealed a special livery highlighting title sponsor Petronas for this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia at Sepang International Circuit. The design marks Formula 1's return to Malaysia after a nine-year absence, with the race relocated from Bahrain due to ongoing Middle East conflict.

The Malaysian oil and gas company has served as Mercedes' title sponsor since the manufacturer returned to Formula 1 in 2010. Mercedes previously ran a similar one-off livery at the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, demonstrating the partnership's significance in the Asian region.
