ExxonMobil brings a mobile analytical laboratory to every Grand Prix. More than 50 fuel and lubricant samples are taken from the two cars during a race weekend.
These sample tests provide ExxonMobil with more than one thousand points of analytical data.
More than 20 fuel samples are tested to ensure compliance with FIA regulations, avoiding any track penalties. The analysis also gives detailed information on mechanical component issues and dirt contamination.
The lubricant samples are taken from the engine and gearbox systems primarily to monitor their condition.
Oil sample results can detect any high friction or metal wear points, potential component faults, improve reliability and reduce the risk of unexpected failures.
The insights and expertise gained from ExxonMobil’s Technology Partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing in Formula One are then used to develop our Mobil 1™ motor oil and Esso, Exxon, and Mobil Synergy™ fuels for the road.
