Sting Energy has partnered with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team to launch one of its boldest pieces of communication yet-a high-adrenaline ad compressed into just two seconds. The film uses the instinct, reflexes and precision of an F1 pit stop to mirror the brand’s signature jolt of energy, proving that sometimes, fast can get even faster.

Built around an ultra-tight edit, the ad pushes format boundaries to capture attention in the same way audiences scroll today-quick, reactive and constant. The creative idea is simple but striking: deliver the essence of Sting in the time it takes to blink.
Early reactions online point to exactly that impact. Viewers have called out the “blink-and-miss” speed, the F1-inspired rhythm, and the sheer density of detail packed into two seconds. Many have rewatched the film multiple times to catch everything, fuelling social buzz and curiosity around the concept.
In a digital landscape where attention spans are shrinking and every frame matters, Sting Energy is leaning into ultra-short storytelling as a category innovation. The collaboration with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team reinforces the shared values of speed, precision and high performance, while signalling the brand’s willingness to experiment with sharp, disruptive formats.
With this launch, Sting sets a new benchmark in rapid-fire communication-proving that, when done right, two seconds is more than enough to make an impact.
