This groundbreaking development sees sustainable carbon fibre composites on a high-performance area of our race car for the first time, replacing 30 per cent of the traditional resin material with those derived from renewable sources. It also marks the first time that the team has integrated sustainable carbon fibre composites on a technically performant component in race conditions. Alice Ashpitel, Head of Sustainability, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, said, “We are proud to be powering sustainable innovation within Formula One, introducing sustainable carbon fibre composites on a technically performant component. By integrating bio-based resin within a carbon fibre composite material, we are setting a new benchmark for the future of motorsport and beyond. Our bio-based resin technology represents a significant step forward in sustainable materials innovation.
