According to the information shared on the official website of Mercedes-AMG Petronas, Mercedes and Qualcomm have signed a long-term partnership for their sub-brands AMG Petronas and Snapdragon. As a result of this partnership, the Snapdragon logo will be found on the rear spoiler, driver’s overalls, pit crew outfits and racetracks of the new Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E PERFORMANCE vehicles that will compete in F1 this year. In addition, the Mercedes team will use Snapdragon and other Qualcomm technologies in vehicles and equipment used by the pit crew.
