Williams will be introducing some engine and fuel upgrades at Magny Cours on Next Sunday's French Grand Prix.
Petrobras' Formula One fuel, the 17-PodiumF1, will compliment the new Series 6.01 engine specification.
Designed by engineers and chemists from the company’s Refineries and the R&D Centre (CENPES), 17-PodiumF1 is derived from Brazilian crude oils and is processed at Petrobras' refining units.
The aim of the new product is to increase the power generated by the engine in certain revolution ranges and, at the same time, to improve fuel economy. Other than reducing lap times by precious tenths of seconds and increasing fuel efficiency, the new fuel will additionally help to reduce pit stops times and offer the team’s engineers greater flexibility in terms of race strategy.
The partnership between Petrobras and the WilliamsF1 Team commenced in 1998 and is now regarded as one of the most enduring in motorsport.
