Commenting on this exciting development, McLaren’s CEO Zak Brown expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are delighted to welcome Allwyn to the McLaren Racing family.” He underscored the significance of this collaboration, especially in light of McLaren’s recent success in the 2024 Formula 1 season.
Founder of Allwyn, Karel Komarek, echoed Brown’s sentiments, emphasizing the pivotal role that these partnerships play in Allwyn’s expansion strategy. Komarek expressed confidence in leveraging McLaren’s spirit of innovation to drive their own progress forward.
“This exciting partnership – alongside the partnership we announced earlier this week with F1 – is a big step forward on Allwyn’s journey to expand its business and brand globally,” said Komarek. “Our collaboration with McLaren benefits from a shared drive to thrive, fuelled by technology and with innovation at its heart; characteristics that will continue to power Allwyn’s global development.”
