Introducing the Riviera Livery: A Fusion of Heritage and Future
In 1968, the McLaren M7A roared onto the Formula 1 scene, clinching the team’s first-ever Grand Prix victory and introducing the now-legendary papaya hue. That moment wasn’t just a win on the track—it was the birth of an identity, forged through partnerships with traditional sponsors often associated with "old money." Today, in 2025, a new era is unfolding. OKX stands alongside McLaren Racing as a symbol of new money—digital, dynamic, and decentralized—ushering in a transformation as bold as the original revolution.
We’re proud to unveil the Riviera livery, a stunning new design adorning the MCL39 race cars for the 2025 season. This special edition livery pays homage to Bruce McLaren’s enduring legacy, particularly marking the anniversary of his passing on June 2, 1970. More than a visual tribute, it represents a cultural shift: from tradition to innovation, from centralized influence to open financial ecosystems.

Celebrating Legacy While Racing Toward the Future
Formula 1 has long been shaped by heritage—by elite patronage, timeless rivalries, and passionate global fandom. The Riviera livery honors that rich history while signaling a powerful evolution. With its elegant color palette inspired by the French Riviera and subtle nods to 1960s design motifs, this livery bridges decades of motorsport excellence with the cutting-edge digital energy that defines OKX.
As we approach the Monaco and Spanish Grands Prix, two of the most iconic events on the F1 calendar, this collaboration becomes even more symbolic. Monaco, with its glamorous coastline and storied circuits, is the perfect stage for a design that blends sophistication with speed. It's here that legacy meets liquidity, where tradition accelerates into tomorrow.
This marks our fourth custom livery with the McLaren F1 Team—an evolution in partnership that goes beyond branding. It’s a shared vision: to push boundaries in both racing and finance. Just as McLaren redefines performance at 200+ mph, OKX is redefining what’s possible in digital assets and blockchain technology.
More Than a Paint Job: A Full-Team Transformation
The Riviera experience extends beyond the car. For the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will wear exclusive OKX-branded race suits—crafted with precision, built for performance, and designed to make a statement. These aren’t just uniforms; they’re symbols of a new era where technology meets tradition on one of sport’s grandest stages.
Every detail has been thoughtfully curated—from stitching patterns echoing blockchain nodes to color gradients reflecting market momentum. This integration ensures that every moment under the Monaco sun carries the spirit of innovation.
It’s a full-circle moment: the narrow streets of Monte Carlo, the roar of hybrid engines, and the quiet hum of digital transactions happening in real time—all converging in a celebration of progress.
Why This Moment Matters: From Old Money to New Money
The phrase “old money” evokes stability, heritage, and exclusivity. In contrast, “new money” speaks to disruption, accessibility, and democratization—values at the heart of both OKX and modern Web3 culture. This campaign isn’t about replacing one with the other; it’s about evolution.
Just as Formula 1 evolved from analog engineering to data-driven aerodynamics, financial systems are transitioning from closed institutions to open networks. The Riviera livery is our visual manifesto for that change—a declaration that transformation can be beautiful, bold, and inclusive.
We believe financial freedom should be accessible to everyone, not just a select few. Through secure trading platforms, innovative products like OKX Pay, and strategic partnerships with pioneers like McLaren, we’re building a future where value moves as fast as inspiration.
