McLaren extend Vodafone sponsorship

McLaren have extended their lucrative title partnership with sponsors Vodafone through to the end of the 2013 season.

Under the new arrangement, that initially began in 2007, Vodafone will become the team’s total communications partner.

Ron Dennis, executive chairman of the McLaren Group and McLaren Automotive, said: “The success we have enjoyed since our two companies’ partnership began in 2007 has been prodigious.

“Of the 68 grands prix staged during our partnership, our drivers have scored 21 wins and 55 podium finishes.

“Going forward, I’m confident Vodafone McLaren Mercedes will build and improve on our already impressive track record.”
