F1 Monaco GP: Bybit’s Red Bull Racing NFTs, crypto-F1 partnerships, more

cointelegraph.com:

Crypto has taken over the world, and Formula One was no exception to the disruption. From NFTs and fan tokens to multi-year partnerships, the crypto community continues to support the F1 landscape in numerous ways.

Monaco Grand Prix 2022 saw F1’s fastest pit crew, Oracle Red Bull Racing (ORBR), partner with crypto exchange Bybit to launch ORBR’s 2022 NFT collection — minted over the Tezos blockchain. The limited-edition NFT collection is made available via an auction, wherein bidders get to collect digital collectibles representing various aspects of Red Bull’s past, present and future.

Speaking to Cointelegraph editor-in-chief Kristina Cornèr, Bybit co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou said that F1 has a symbiotic relationship with crypto as the partnerships between the two industry pulls in young investors into the F1 fan base:

Parallelly, Bybit premiered “The Search for the Next Level,” a film starring Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio “Checo” Pérez — (spoiler alert) circled around the launch of the new RB18 car.
