Shell, one of the world's largest companies and most recognizable brands, is a global energy company that leads the development of top-end energy technologies such as carbon-reducing CO2 Injection and cleaner-burning Gas-to-Liquid fuels (GTL). Shell is also one of the most successful energy companies in the history of motorsport with over seventy years of involvement in Grand Prix racing. Shell has applied its formidable expertise in F1 and has established an unrivalled partnership with F1's most successful team: Ferrari.
In 2007, Shell became a Premier Sponsor Partner of my SHAABAN2F1 program. Shell will be sponsoring me in the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2007 and 2008, with a view to extend the partnership into the GP2 Series for 2009. This is the first-ever sponsorship of a comprehensive strategy to develop an Arab driver to F1, and I'm lucky enough to join the Ferrari F1, Ducati MotoGP, and Audi Le Mans teams in being sponsored by Shell.
Additionally, Shell are backing my passion for promoting Road Safety by also partnering me in my Middle East Road Safety campaign. Shell has decades of experience in teaching and promoting Road Safety within the company and publicly. We are very serious about increasing awareness and helping to reduce one of the world's highest traffic injury and mortality rates that is unfortunately found in the Arab world.
