Oracle Red Bull Racing's outstanding teamwork was once again recognized with the DHL Fastest Pit Stop Award - marking Red Bull's seventh consecutive win and underlining the team's remarkable consistency.

"On behalf of DHL, I congratulate Lando Norris for his fastest laps and team Oracle Red Bull Racing on their impressive achievements with fastest pit stops this season," said Arjan Sissing, Head of DHL Brand. "Formula 1, much like our logistics business, embodies the perfect symbiosis of speed and teamwork. These awards celebrate exactly these shared values."

Winners feel honored

Lando Norris stated: "It's mega to win this award for the team. Every lap counts, and without the people involved behind the scenes, I would not have the car to win these kinds of awards - so a big thanks to them for all their hard work this year." The DHL Fastest Lap Award was presented by DHL Brand Ambassador and F1 pundit, Billy Monger. The former F4 driver broke the record for a double amputee at the Ironman World Championship in 2024, exemplifying perseverance and determination. 

After winning the DHL Fastest Pit Stop Award for the seventh time in a row, Red Bull Sporting Director Jonathan Wheatley was impressed by his team's performance: "Seven victories in the DHL Fastest Pit Stop Award are a testament to our entire team's exceptional consistency and precision. Every pit stop is a perfectly choreographed demonstration of teamwork."

DHL - an indispensable partner for Formula 1

As the Official Logistics Partner of Formula 1, DHL transported up to 1,400 tons of material per race this season, including race cars, engines, fuel, as well as marketing and hospitality equipment. The introduction of biofuel-powered trucks for the European leg of the racing series marks an important step towards sustainable logistics, reducing carbon emissions by an average of 83% compared to conventionally powered trucks. Furthermore, since the Australian Grand Prix, approximately 20% of Formula 1 cargo flights to races outside Europe in 2024 utilized Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), reducing greenhouse gas emissions by around 80% per flight compared to conventional aviation fuel. Through multimodal and sustainable logistics solutions, DHL supports Formula 1's goal of achieving Net Zero by 2030.
