Formula One team McLaren-Honda has signed a new 10-year sponsorship deal with luxury watchmaking brand Richard Mille.
The partnership will see Richard Mille provide watches to the team’s drivers Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button and have their branding appear on the team’s car.

“For everyone at Richard Mille, this will be a thrilling partnership.”
Ron Dennis, Chairman and CEO, McLaren Technology Group, added: “The two brands share a distinct common DNA: a passion for design, technology and aesthetics, and I’m excited about the great work we can achieve together over the next 10 years.”
