McLaren, the incumbent champion of Formula, has announced several commercial deals ahead of the 2026 season over the past month.
Most recently, the UK-based outfit agreed a multi-year partnership with security and AI operations company Rubrik.
Before that, the team partnered with French company Schneider Electric and digital network provider Hedera Foundation, while extending with professional services firm Deloitte and Dutch paint and coating manufacturing company AkzoNobel.
Most notably, McLaren last month unveiled German sportswear giant Puma as their new technical sponsor to replace outgoing UK brand Castore, to produce the kit for all McLaren racing teams.
Mastercard will become the team's naming partner at the start of the 2026 season, which gets underway with the Australian Grand Prix on March 8.
