OKX and McLaren F1 Team Reveal Riviera Livery Honoring F1 Heritage
MONACO, May 21, 2025 /CNW/ -- OKX, a leading global blockchain technology company and Official Primary Partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Team, along with McLaren Racing, today revealed a striking Riviera-inspired livery that will feature on McLaren's MCL39 race cars at the upcoming 2025 Monaco and Spanish grands prix. More than a visual statement, this livery represents a shared vision of transformation. It blends the spirit of the McLaren F1 Team's 1960's racing triumphs with the next generation of speed, simplicity, and digital creativity, fusing old-school grit with new-school style. It is also a mark of respect for the anniversary of the tragic passing of Bruce McLaren on June 2, 1970. Just as the M7A broke new ground in 1968, delivering McLaren its first F1 win and introducing the now-legendary papaya, this new design marks a new milestone: OKX becoming the first cryptocurrency exchange to receive a MiCA license, opening the door to a New Alternative in European finance. Watch the video here This campaign is the fourth custom livery born from the OKX-McLaren partnership, highlighting a shared commitment to creativity, performance, and pushing boundaries. Celebrating the legacy of old money through the lens of new money. "Over the years, Formula 1 has seen huge amounts of change, from technological developments to the recent growth in fandom, the sport's culture has evolved and there's a fantastic attitude of freedom to push the boundaries of what's possible," said Haider Rafique, Chief Marketing Officer, OKX."This aligns perfectly with our mission to challenge conventional ways of thinking about money and finance and Riviera livery symbolizes this transformation and the elegance and innovation both OKX and McLaren are known for." Fans can look forward to seeing the Riviera-inspired livery on both McLaren MCL39s, driven by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who will also wear exclusive OKX-branded A New Alternative race suits during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend. From the sun-drenched streets of Monaco to the global stage of financial innovation, the Riviera livery connects McLaren's legacy with OKX's vision: a world where tradition meets transformation, old money gives way to new freedom, and boldness knows no boundaries.

Welcome to Glasgow, a sun-soaked, Riviera-inspired haven
Back to my roots this week with a visit to the West. Outside Glasgow Central Station, I was startled to stumble across what is known as a pop-up experience at the Grand Central Hotel. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Apparently it's a partnership with the 'luxury champagne brand, Veuve Clicquot'. A typical Glasgow street scene! In effect, it's a bunch of tables, chairs and a sun brolly, largely useless. This is Scotland and the pavement in question being almost always in the shade. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The marketing blurb notes that this new venture was inspired by the al fresco bars of the South of France and they hoped to create a "sun-soaked, Riviera-inspired haven in the heart of the city centre". I'll just repeat where this haven is. It's on a pavement outside Central Station on Gordon Street. Last time I checked, Riviera views involved a deep blue sea sparkling in the sun, millionaires yachts and scantily clad lovelies sashaying about. Gordon Street is a fairly narrow street bang slap in the middle of a huge, blusting city and really not trained to be a stunt double for the promenades of the South of France. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad For one thing, it's Glasgow, and that means a bampot population on an industrial scale. Don't get me wrong, Edinburgh has its own population of the wild-eyed and wanting, but Glasgow is in a different league, always has been. In fact, Gordon Street saw the only time in my childhood I recall actually encountering a man begging on the streets. One warm summer evening, Mum, Dad, the pest (AKA my wee brother) and I passed the hotel. Back then the Central Hotel was slowly decaying, her glory days far behind, her resurrection far ahead. A man called out 'Hey, Jimmy!' Dad knew what he wanted. The homeless huddled outside the station on the hot air vents. He sent us on ahead and then caught up a moment or two later. Mum ticked him off gently for being a soft touch, but my dad laughed and said he'd told a good story and so he'd bunged him a couple of bob for a pint. The Pest and I immed-iately started working on sob-story scripts in an effort to increase our pocket money. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad That encounter took place exactly on the spot where Veuve Clicquot have pitched their pop-up. There were Glaswegians at the tables, sipping the fizz and taking in the view. Well, it was really more like street theatre, starring a chap fully fueled on fighting juice. Given the evidence in the carrier bag, I'm guessing the classic combo of mega-strength lager and Buckfast. He'd been enjoying the sunshine. He was, of course, taps aff. He should have used sunscreen. Those shoulders looked raw. A taxi had irritated him, possibly by doing something unexpected, like trying to join the row of other taxis on the rank. Our bold boy swung a sudden one-two onto the bonnet, and then swung around to the champagne poppers and delivered an impassioned speech about the perfidious nature of Glasgow's black cab drivers. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Had it been shorn of two words constantly used on repeat, it would have been shorter, but as it stood it was a shoo-in for Creative Scotland funding, and on that note, he finished by attempting to pan-handle the fizz crowd. I bunged a bob or two in memory of my dad. I've seen worse performances at the fringe.
