The cars of Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo will feature neon pink elements and cyberpunk-inspired engine illustrations alongside its traditional orange papaya colours, to herald F1’s return to Asia for the first time since 2019.
The livery forms part of a joint campaign between McLaren and crypto exchange OKX labelled ‘Future Mode’, with both drivers’ race suits also being enhanced for the Singapore and Suzuka weekends.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown said that F1 being able to race once again in the important Asian market for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic hit marked something worth making an extra effort for.
“We’re excited to celebrate our partnership with OKX through this bold and vibrant livery for the upcoming races in Asia,” he said.
“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.
“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.”
