McLaren Employ Dynamic Signage

McLaren has partnered with Seamless Digital to bring flexible electronic paper displays to its F1 car, rotating sponsor branding to give partners far more effective TV airtime than fixed livery ever could.

The lightweight panels — just 190 grams — don't compromise the car's aerodynamics, and effectively give McLaren, a team with more than 40 sponsors to accommodate, almost unlimited advertising space compared to the fixed decals used previously.

It's a multi-year deal, suggesting McLaren sees real long-term potential in the technology, though for a mid-grid team the total sponsor value still depends heavily on how much TV time the car earns on merit. Expect rival teams to be watching closely to see how the approach develops.
