How it went:Officially I was wrong:

β€œWe wanted it to be the right partner, with the right long-term commitment, with the same values as McLaren, and a brand that we felt could add value off the track,”

Unofficially though....:

The Mastercard deal is estimated to be in the region of $100 million per season

Thanks for playing!
