McLaren's Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo sat down with Cointelegraph during the Token2049 conference in Singapore, discussing his recent involvement in crypto ahead of the 2022 Singapore Grand Prix.

Alongside OKX CMO Haider Rafique, the duo delved into the partnership between McLaren Racing and the crypto exchange, exploring a variety of entertaining marketing moves between the two brands.

“I was actually starting to get pretty involved to a point where a few people on my team were like ‘alright you're spending a bit too much time on here.’

Rafique highlighted synergies between the cryptocurrency industry and Formula 1, with the "velocity of innovation" from the sport in parallel with the speed at which the blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem has continued to develop: “Ultimately the fun that we are all having comes from being creative together.

Formula 1 marks its return to the Singapore street circuit for the first time since 2019.

Before COVID-19, Ricciardo had enjoyed success at the track and hopes to emulate his previous podium finishes in the city: “It’s good to be back, 2019 was the last time and I’ve always loved street circuits and before it's all up you’re on the track trying to figure it all out because it does look different when it’s not all put together.
