Entering the sport in 1979, Mobil 1 went on to power multiple teams and drivers to World Championship success, becoming one of the sports leading motor oils. Today, it supplies race-winning lubricants to the Team.

This weekend in China, the RB15 will race with the original Mobil and Esso logos that will also feature on Max and Pierre's helmets and race suits. The team garage will also display the heritage logos.
