TeamViewer to enter landmark partnership with Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team and Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team and Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team are proud and delighted to jointly announce the leading global #software company #teamviewer as a new official partner.
 
TeamViewer will provide the teams with remote connectivity solutions and further cutting-edge technology to drive greater performance over the next five years. The #software company breaks new ground as the first brand to agree a new #partnership with Mercedes in Formula One and Formula E, including prominent branding on both cars and the drivers' #racing suits. As the only manufacturer competing in both series, Mercedes is uniquely positioned to deliver this #partnership.
 
TeamViewer will be joining a high-tech ecosystem that is engineering the future of mobility in the world's fastest development laboratory, thanks to advanced performance hybrid solutions in Formula One and battery electric technology in Formula E, which will find their ways into future passenger vehicles. The demanding remote operating conditions, as well as the data-driven nature of each #racing series, will prove use cases that can be translated from the racetrack to the industrial environment for TeamViewer's customers.
 
TeamViewer #software will make the Mercedes teams more efficient, with optimized remote operations and enhanced connectivity between team processes trackside and back at base, notably in terms of race support during testing and #racing. #teamviewer will furthermore play an important role in motorsport's journey towards net zero emissions, by enabling #people and companies to effectively monitor systems remotely. By enabling remote working and IoT solutions across multiple sites, #teamviewer technology can deliver further reductions of the carbon footprint of the #racing teams, each of which achieved the FIA's 3* Environmental Accreditation standard last year.
 
Today's announcement also provides a sneak preview of the branding that will appear on the Mercedes race cars in Formula One and Formula E, as well as on the driver overalls and teamwear, from the respective Monaco races in each series - the Monaco E-Prix will be held on 8th May, with the Grand Prix de Monaco following two weeks later, on 23rd May.
 
Broadcast in more than 170 territories around the world and with more than 500 million global fans, Formula One is the world's most popular annual sporting platform and reaches an annual cumulative audience of over 1.5 billion. Alongside the global pinnacle of motorsport, Formula E is growing a new and distinctive audience for its unique city #racing format, and together the two series will support TeamViewer's ambition to become a truly global tech brand through races in 25 countries across six continents.
 
"We are thrilled to announce this new #partnership with #teamviewer," said #totowolff, CEO and Team Principal of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team and Head of #mercedesbenz Motorsport. "Motorsport is a proven catalyst for technology and business development, and we are excited to work together on both fronts over the coming years. It is a dynamic and ambitious brand, and a perfect fit for the pioneering spirit of #mercedesbenz in motorsport. By working together across F1 and FE, we can drive gains in technology performance, and we will help optimize remote operations for many companies across the globe. In addition to our own ambitions in terms of sustainability, we are convinced that the growth of companies like #teamviewer will make a meaningful difference to CO2 emissions on a much greater scale. I'm excited to welcome them to the team - and looking forward to seeing their brand enter the global stage with our Monaco races in May."
 
Oliver Steil, CEO of #teamviewer: "We are very proud to become an official partner of #mercedesbenz, one of the most iconic brands in motorsport. #teamviewer and Mercedes share the same values of performance, innovation, and engineering. This #partnership is a key pillar in our strategy to build a truly global tech brand, while creating new opportunities to transfer use cases from the fastest-moving and most data-driven sports into the industrial environment of our customers. We are excited to provide the Mercedes Formula One and Formula E teams with our leading connectivity solutions for remote diagnostics and collaboration - making them faster, more efficient, and more sustainable. Joining forces with the most successful teams in motorsport underpins our strategy to grow stronger for longer and generates additional value for our customers, employees and shareholders."
