    Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Motorsport 
[https://www.mercedesamgf1.com/en/mercedes-amg-f1] joined guests at PETRONAS' 
state-of-the-art Research & Technology Centre in Turin for the launch of 
PETRONAS Syntium with degree(s)CoolTech(TM) in a dynamic Formula One pit stop 
competition to determine who could keep their cool under pressure.

    Lewis and Valtteri challenged the assembled guests to replicate a Formula 
One pit stop against the clock, working in teams under the watchful eye of Team 
Principal, Toto Wolff. Participants kept their cool under the pressure of the 
clock while replacing all four wheels as the drivers skilfully managed the tyre 
guns.

    The activities demonstrated the advantages of PETRONAS Syntium with 
degree(s)CoolTech (TM) - fighting excessive engine heat and performing in the 
most high-pressure conditions. Just as with optimal engine performance, people 
and teams also achieve the most when they keep their cool.

    Five-time F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton said: "We've found the winning 
formula during our journey with PETRONAS but we have to keep striving forward. 
Every success we've achieved has been earned together as a team and we know 
that we perform at our Championship-winning best when we stay cool, calm and 
composed under pressure. Whether that's the engine or our people. It is great 
to see that technology development never stops at PETRONAS."

    PLI Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer, Giuseppe D'Arrigo 
[https://www.pli-petronas.com/en/about/leadership] added: "Much like humans, 
engines exposed to strenuous conditions need to be kept cool to ensure optimum 
performance. PETRONAS fluid technology is designed to perform under pressure, 
as proven by the outstanding success of Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Motorsport in the 
F1 Constructors' World Championship over the last five years. Today, we are 
pleased to bring to our consumers fluids created with our winning technology."

    After a successful 2018, during which PLI pledged to dedicate 75% of its 
research and technology investments behind CO2 emissions reducing projects, the 
company is looking forward to more opportunities to apply its fluid technology 
towards fulfilling this promise.

    The new range of PETRONAS Syntium with degree(s)CoolTech(TM) lubricants 
will be available globally in a phased launch from March 2019.
