For the longest time, Heineken® has taken a strong stance against drinking and driving. With the brand’s recent campaign, “When You Drink, Never Drive” (WYDND), the Netherlands-based brewery emphasises the responsibility people must exercise when consuming alcohol — the best driver doesn’t drink, unless it is Heineken® 0.0. This crucial message was effectively conveyed in a potent brand film starring three-time Formula 1® World Champion and WYDND campaign ambassador Max Verstappen.
To drive the message of When You Drive, Never Drink, Heineken® introduced Player 0.0 – a virtual racing game at its microsite that will put your driving skills and reflexes to the test! Compete with friends and strangers alike on a global leaderboard to prove who is the best of the best.
If you don’t get a chance to play the virtual game, but think you have what it takes to be the number one player in the country, then prove it at the Player 0.0 Malaysia Finals open qualifiers at The Piazza, Pavilion Bukit Jalil, on 24th August at 11am, where players fight for a chance to be a part of the Player 0.0 Malaysia Finals! The top 10 fastest lap times set on simulators will proceed to the final race!
Here, 20 Malaysian finalists – 10 top scorers from the Player 0.0 and the top 10 from the qualifiers – will compete for the chance to travel to the global final in Spain on an all-expense-paid trip to represent Malaysia and get the chance to compete against racing icon Max Verstappen! Those who place second and third shouldn’t feel down in case they don’t make it in, because they will still be eligible to get a two-person, fully-paid trip to see the F1® Singapore Grand Prix!

If you’re just there to enjoy the thrill and the vibes, Heineken invites you to the Formula 1® Heineken® Dutch Grand Prix Live Viewing Party! Enjoy some ice-cold Heineken® beer and Heineken® 0.0 while watching the race on a 700-inch screen. You’ll also get to enjoy thrilling performances by Blink, Jovynn, Mister Rodrigo, and Shawn Zod.
Heineken® has a long-standing global commitment to promote responsible drinking with “When You Drive, Never Drink.” This platform effectively conveys the strong message against drunk driving, which is that abstinence is the only option when operating a vehicle.
Through this new campaign, Heineken® hopes to emphasise that the only person picked to drive home after a night out should be the one who has not consumed any alcohol. The best driver is the one who does not drink, unless it is a Heineken® 0.0!
So swing by The Piazza, Pavilion Bukit Jalil at 11am on 24th August and 3pm on 25th Aug for the Player 0.0 Malaysia Finals. One of the 10 grid positions up for grabs through the qualifying could be yours!
