Special mural unveiled at a celebration event ahead of the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix curated by British Artist, David Doran, as a gift from Mobil 1 to Honda.
ExxonMobil’s global leading synthetic motor oil brand Mobil 1, has unveiled a specially commissioned, bespoke artwork highlighting its past six seasons with Honda in Formula 1. Over the past few years, the Mobil 1 brand and Honda have supported Oracle Red Bull Racing in achieving four Drivers’ and two Constructors’ World Championships.
David Doran, an award-winning British illustrator, was selected to design and illustrate a 3×3 meter mural featuring the components, values and spirit that encapsulates the commitment and drive that the Mobil 1 brand and Honda bring to Formula 1. The artwork was inspired by the on-track results and working relationship of the past six seasons, as well as time that Doran spent at Honda Racing Corporation’s UK Headquarters and Oracle Red Bull Racing’s factory.
Together the Mobil 1 brand, Honda and Oracle Red Bull Racing have experienced an era of extraordinary success in Formula 1, winning 71 Grand Prix’s out of a possible 152. The three-way collaboration has seen the team on the podium 136 times, amassing 3980.5 World Championship points since Honda partnered with the team in 2019.
Honda has also been a crucial part of the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula One team, which Mobil partnered with in 2025. Collectively, ExxonMobil and Honda have more than 130 years of Formula 1 experience and heritage.
This collaboration will be credited with creating one of the most dominant cars in Formula 1’s illustrious history – the RB19 – winning 21 out of 22 races and claimed both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ World Championships. A testament to the Mobil 1 brand, Honda and Oracle Red Bull Racing’s shared commitment to excellence.
Katy Howell, Marketing Services and Sponsorship Manager at ExxonMobil, said, “Our relationship with Honda has been truly remarkable and has already been eternalized in motorsport history with Max Verstappen’s and Oracle Red Bull Racing’s multiple World Championship wins. While we are looking forward to the next challenge in 2026, we recognize the achievements of this collaboration and celebrate our relationship with Honda for their part in what will always be a highpoint in our motorsport history.”
Koji Watanabe, President of Honda Racing Corporation, said, “Our relationship with Oracle Red Bull Racing, the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls team, and the Mobil 1 brand has had incredible success. We’re deeply grateful to Mobil for their sincere and extraordinary gift. It is a reflection of the meaningful connection between our brands on and off the racetrack and represents our shared commitment to innovation and excellence.
Paul Monaghan, Chief Engineer at Oracle Red Bull Racing, said, “F1 is all about precision and pushing boundaries, and Honda, alongside Mobil 1, has been instrumental in helping us achieve success on the track. Reaching the level of performance to win multiple World Championships wouldn’t have been possible without their dedication to continuous development and close integration with our team. It’s been a true collaboration of technical excellence and Mobil 1 gift to Honda has captured exactly that.”
