Shell the only F1 team with a mobile track lab
SHELL is proud of the fact that it is the only team in the Formula One fraternity that has a mobile track laboratory.
The idea to have a mobile laboratory originated when Shell teamed up with Scuderia Ferrari in 1996 and used a fuel analyser that was housed in the Ferrari garage. The following year, the oil analysis equipment was developed and again located in the Ferrari garage. In 1999, both pieces of equipment were installed into white cabinets, similar to those currently used today in the track lab.
