McLaren chief Zak Brown has soothed concerns over global fin🏅ancial “craziness” making deals “as hard as it’s ever been” by revealing two ꩵnew partners ahead of the 2019 Formula 1 season.

The Woking-based squad has not raced with a title backer since Vodafone’s exit at the end of 2013 but still managed to attract a host of n🌳ew sponsors last season. 

Brown said last month the team is 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:holding talks with Coca-Cola over a potential future sponsorship partnership after striking a deal to run the carbona🧜ted soft drinks manufacturer’s branding on its cars at three races towards the end of 2018. 

Speaking at the Autosport Int🧜ernational show, Brown admitted McLaren had felt the effects of current global financial uncertainties - including those surrounding the impact of Britain’s planned exit from the European Union - which he said had resulted in major companies becoming “nervous to invest long term”. 

Asked about the difficulties McLaren has faced in🎃 attracting new sponsors, Brown replied: “It’s as hard as it’s ever been.&n🤡bsp;

“Cooperations are a bit nervous to invest long term because🦹 they are not quite sure if something happens over he⛎re what does that mean. 

“It does put everything into a bit of a slowdown and holding pꦅattern.” 

But Brown stressed the “craziness that’s going on around the world” has not put the brakes on McLaren securing fresh investment, revealing it will announce a minimum of two new sponsors later thi🅘s month. 

“We were fortunate 🐻🌊to bring on about five new partners last year, and we’ll announce another at least two this month that we’ve signed so we are making good progress,” he said. 

“It c🀅ertainly hasn’t come to a stop but it’s slowed things down and some of the craziness that’s going on around the world doesn’t help.”
