Boulogne-Billancourt, February 5th 2018 - Building on their first season together, and a successful meeting between Renault Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn and BP Group Chief Executive Bob Dudley during which they shared their vision for the future, BP, Castrol and #renaultsport Formula One Team will collaborate in a number of areas, both on and off the track. In addition to the fuel and lubricants supply by #bpcastrol, the #partnership will go beyond Formula 1 and see the partners collaborate on the joint development of advanced mobility solutions and new technologies.


Jérôme Stoll, President of #renaultsport #racing, said:

We are tremendously proud to announce this significant strengthening of our relationship with #bpcastrol after laying strong and stable foundations together in 2017. BP and Castrol are at the cutting edge in their respective fields and a #partnership of this scope, breadth and duration highlights the intents and goals of both parties.

 

Tufan Erginbilgic, CEO BP Downstream, said:

We look forward to our continued relationship in Formula 1 and to exploring a wider global co-operation with the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance including the further joint development of advanced mobility solutions and new technologies. The #automotive landscape is changing faster than ever before and BP is committed to remaining a leader in the development and marketing of fuels and lubricants. This #partnership enables us to combine the excellent skills and knowledge across both organizations to tackle the challenges and explore the opportunities of this rapidly evolving market.
