McLaren-Honda F1 Partners With Logitech
Together with the season opener of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship in Melbourne Australia, the McLaren-Honda Formula One Team has announced an official partnership with Swiss technology company Logitech.
This multi-year agreement means that from now on, Logitech will be one of the official sponsors of the renowned British F1 team. The Logitech brand logo will be featured on the cockpit surrounds of the 2017 McLaren-Honda MCL32. The partnership is supposed to generate a wide range of opportunities for both brands.
For Sim Racers, the interesting question will be if this new branding deal will lead to the production of any Mclaren branded Logitech gaming peripherals or even an officially licensed Logitech steering wheel. For now, Logitech did not yet release any statement, regarding possible branded products. Besides the “We are working on exciting plans for the future” statement, we are left in the dark. We will keep you posted when more news becomes available.
