OKX Becomes McLaren Racing's Chief Sponsor, Set to Appear at F1 Miami Grand Prix
Seychelles, May 3, 2022 – Today, OKX, a world-leading cryptocurrency Trading platform, announced a multi-year significant partnership with McLaren Racing, becoming the chief sponsor of the McLaren F1 racing team and the McLaren Shadow Esports team starting in 2022, as well as its exclusive crypto platform partner.
This partnership unites two global brands that share a commitment to innovation and accessibility. As the official chief sponsor, OKX will become McLaren Racing's largest partner. McLaren Racing has long been one of the most successful F1 teams, with an outstanding roster of drivers.
As a world-leading cryptocurrency Trading platform, OKX's mission is to deliver a richer experience to McLaren's global audience. OKX will empower motorsport through crypto technology, driving the growth of its team and fans.
OKX's partnership with McLaren will significantly boost its brand visibility and is expected to be warmly received by McLaren fans and traders alike. OKX's involvement in motorsport will showcase the similarities between Trading and racing: speed, performance, and ambition.
At the 2022 Miami Grand Prix, to be held on May 8, the OKX brand will appear in multiple locations across the McLaren team, including on the rear wing, front wing, side mirrors, cockpit fairing, nose cone, and DRL lights of the McLaren MCL36 F1 car; on the race suits and helmets of renowned McLaren F1 drivers Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo; and on the team apparel of both the McLaren F1 team and the McLaren Shadow Esports team.

OKX's newly appointed CMO, Haider Rafique, said: "The McLaren brand represents everything that is great about F1. Speed, reliability, and performance are at the core of any first-class cryptocurrency Trading platform. We innovate on our platform every single day to ensure we provide the fastest Trading execution speeds for our users — which requires the same kind of teamwork and instincts as an F1 pit stop." He also revealed that OKX and McLaren Racing will pursue deeper collaborations in the future in areas such as fan tokens, NFTs, and wallets.
"We love the McLaren brand and the McLaren team. In a very short time, we've discovered a unique friendship and shared philosophy between us. In the days ahead, we will create magical moments for fans together." said Lennix Lai, OKX's Director of Financial Markets.
"We are thrilled to announce this important partnership with OKX ahead of the Miami Grand Prix," said Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing. "OKX is a brand that has been deeply invested in the cryptocurrency space for years, bringing the innovation, insight, and precision needed to accomplish great things. The inaugural Miami Grand Prix is the perfect occasion for us to kick off this important partnership — through this collaboration, we will bring brand-new experiences to fans alongside OKX."
