🏁 Incredible atmosphere this weekend at the #F1 #LasVegasGP – cheering on Lando Norris, Zak Brown, Oscar Piastri and the McLaren Racing team (currently leading the pack for the Constructors Championship 💪), and spending time with Airwallex customers and partners. It was my first IRL F1 experience — it’s a whole new level seeing it live. We had the unforgettable opportunity to check out the McLaren paddock and garage, where drivers, engineers and mechanics converge to prepare for and execute race day. It’s testament to innovation, precision, and pushing boundaries – values we share with our partners at McLaren. 🤝 Thrilled to be sharing this experience alongside Marne Martin, Shao Zhu, Alexander Hagerup, Leif Abraham, Brandon Arvanaghi, and Sam Silver and Team Airwallex (Jack Zhang, Philipp Reichardt, and Andrew Greener). Best of luck to the McLaren team as they head to Qatar and Abu Dhabi to close the year strong and hopefully as the champions 🏎️ 🏆
