LONDON, UK, February 7, 2024 -- McLaren Racing and Workday (NASDAQ: WDAY), a leading provider of enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, today announced an expansion of their multi-year partnership, which includes Workday continuing as an Official Partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Team. The Workday logo will debut on track on the rear-wing of the McLaren MCL38 of Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in pre-season testing as a lead up to the Bahrain Grand Prix on March 2.
