SINGAPORE, Sept. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- McLaren F1 Team
driver Lando Norris placed second at
the Singapore Grand Prix on September 17,
2023 after a masterful drive in the MCL60 race car featuring
the limited-edition Stealth Mode livery co-designed by McLaren and
OKX, a leading Web3 technology company and Official Primary Partner
of the McLaren Formula 1 Team.
Lando Norris said: "Incredible.
Carlos, Charles, Lewis, George, and I really pushed each other hard
all evening. The end of the race was very stressful, but it paid
off. We knew it was going to be tough as soon as Mercedes boxed,
especially with only a couple of cars for them to overtake – but we
held them off, did what we needed to do and we're on the podium
with P2, so I'm super-happy this evening."
"The team is amazing, and I can't thank them enough for their
hard work in giving me this car. It was good to see Oscar fighting
his way through to P7, cementing the points for the team also. The
car looked great in the OKX Stealth Mode livery and it's just a
great result for the team tonight. I'm looking forward to seeing
what we can do in Japan."
The MCL60 was revealed in Stealth Mode on September 13 at an exclusive media event in
Singapore, attended by OKX Chief
Marketing Officer Haider Rafique and
McLaren F1 Team drivers Lando Norris
and Oscar Piastri, and McLaren Racing Executive Director,
Partnerships & Accelerator, Matt
Dennington.
Stealth Mode switches McLaren's livery colourway, augmenting
black against the team's classic papaya trim. The sleek and
understated design represents the two brands' belief in putting in
hard work behind the scenes to strive for excellence, while
embracing change and innovation. It will also be featured on track
at the 2023 Japan Grand Prix from September
22-24, 2023.
To bring fans closer to Stealth Mode, OKX hosted
a McLaren-themed fanzone at CHIJMES, Singapore, which ran from September 14 to September 17, featuring a Stealth
Mode show car, racing simulators, giveaways and surprise guests
over the race weekend. At the fanzone, fans were joined by McLaren
F1 Driver Lando Norris and McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown on September
14 and 15, respectively.
OKX CMO Haider Rafique said: "Podium! We're thrilled to have
co-created the Stealth Mode livery with McLaren and to have
witnessed the MCL60 F1 car take the podium in Singapore."
