A new reward for exceeding limits in F1
A new award is making its debut in F1. It rewards the driver who makes the most overtakes throughout the season.
In an exciting and exceptional season with intense duels between the drivers, the Crypto.com Overtake Award aims to reward the driver who will make the most overtakes throughout the season. The winner will then receive a trophy at the end. The idea is to celebrate the bravery shown by the drivers in making bold moves during races.
After eleven races, four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel is leading the way. New broadcast graphics will be displayed live during each race to signal a possible overtaking. Fans will be able to follow the drivers’ progress in this new “overtaking championship.” The number of overtakes made will be indicated throughout the race.
Director of Commercial Partnerships, Ben Pincus, said: “We are delighted to expand our partnership with Crypto.com as we introduce the Overtake Award which will feature the brand in F1 throughout the season, in addition to the F1 Sprint title partnership.”
Crypto.com’s Marketing Director, Steve Kalifowitz: “We are extremely proud to present a first-of-its-kind award in Formula 1. We strive to create partnerships that offer win-win opportunities, and I can’t think of a more perfect opportunity than the Crypto.com Overtake Award. This award allows our values to shine by celebrating moments when drivers show bravery. This season has already seen incredible overtakes, and I can’t wait to see who will be the champion this year.”
This is not the first time that Crypto.com and F1 have collaborated together. Earlier in the season, the cryptocurrency platform was a partner for the first sprint race in the history of this sport. It will also be present in Monza and Brazil.
