McLaren is marking the return of the Singapore and Japanese grands prix to the Formula 1 calendar with a special livery it will use in the two events beginning this weekend.
The livery has been produced in conjunction with sponsors OKX, a cryptocurrency exchange, as part of a campaign it calls “Future Mode”. The race suits worn by Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo will also incorporate the distinctive bright pink colours.
“The special livery enhances McLaren’s Fluro Papaya colourway with neon pink embellishments and dynamic, cyberpunk-inspired engine illustrations,” said the team in a statement. “The effervescent design represents the emergence of new technologies from the region, with a look to the future inspired by the cityscapes of Singapore and Japan, where Formula 1 returns for the first time since 2019.”
McLaren will also make the livery available for players of the official Formula 1 racing game, F1 22, to use from October 10th.
Zak Brown, the CEO of McLaren Racing, said the team’s new livery is “bold and vibrant.”
McLaren and OKX are united in driving ahead and constantly striving to break boundaries, and the Future Mode campaign is an opportunity to champion these values together on our global stage,” he added.

F1’s rounds at Marina Bay in Singapore and Suzuka in Japan are being held this year for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 races.
“It’s fantastic to be returning to race in Singapore and Japan, and these incredible circuits provide a fitting backdrop for us to celebrate our partnership vision together,” Brown added.
