TeamViewer has announced a new five-year partnership with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team and the Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team.
The software company, which was recently announced as the new shirt sponsor of Premier League club Manchester United, will provide Mercedes teams with remote connectivity solutions and technology to help them perform better as an official partner
According to Mercedes, TeamViewer is also the first brand to have agreed a new partnership with Mercedes in both Formula 1 and Formula E.
Mercedes is currently the only manufacturer competing in both series and will bring TeamViewer branding to both cars and the drivers’ racing suits.
“We are very pleased to announce this new partnership with TeamViewer,” said Toto Wolff, CEO and Team Principal Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 and Head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport.

“By working together in F1 and FE, we can increase technology performance and help optimize remote operations for many companies around the world. In addition to our own sustainability ambitions, we believe that the growth of companies like TeamViewer will significantly improve carbon emissions on a much larger scale. I’m looking forward to welcoming you to the team – and looking forward to taking your brand onto the global stage with our Monaco races in May. “
Oliver Steil, CEO, TeamViewer, added: “We are very proud to become an official partner of Mercedes-Benz, one of the best-known brands in motorsport.
