A strategic collaboration focused on innovation and winning 

The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team competes at the pinnacle of motorsports, an arena where innovation is crucial to winning — and winning is what this race team does best. They’ve won eight of the last 10 Formula 1 Constructors’ Championships titles. 

That same spirit of relentless innovation has made Snapdragon the leader in premium mobile phone technology and is accelerating growth in other categories, including connected cars, gaming, XR devices, mobile PCs, and wearables

The strategic collaboration will leverage the power of the Snapdragon platform to benefit the team and its global fanbase through one-of-a-kind experiences on the ground as well as digitally. The team will also leverage Snapdragon and other Qualcomm technologies to accelerate its digital transformation and enhance the team’s workplace as they advance their campus into a world-leading smart space.  

Snapdragon delivers premium experiences, and our partners are best in class. The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team is the leading tech-forward team in Formula 1, making it the ideal partner of choice for the Snapdragon brand. Together, we are committed to reimagining the fan experience by bringing the full breadth of Snapdragon technology to fans around the world.
