Under the agreement, Rubrik steps in as an Official Partner for both the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team and the Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team, combining forces to enhance data resilience in one of the world’s most high-stakes racing environments.

This collaboration unites two powerhouses known for their commitment to engineering precision, peak performance, and unwavering resilience. In the fast-paced world of motorsport, where races unfold across continents and every fraction of a second counts, McLaren relies heavily on seamless data access, availability, and integrity to drive success. Rubrik, renowned for its expertise in cyber resilience, will deploy its advanced technology suite to safeguard McLaren’s critical data, supporting everything from technical development to day-to-day operations.

Both organizations emphasize that true resilience—rooted in reliable data recovery—is the key to maintaining momentum, whether on the circuit or in the boardroom. Rubrik’s solutions have already proven their value in delivering secure outcomes for businesses and governments globally, and this partnership aligns perfectly with McLaren’s data-driven approach to competition.

Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing, highlighted the strategic importance of the alliance: “We operate in one of the most data-driven sports in the world. Data integrity is a competitive advantage, and we partner with organizations who match our standards for speed, high performance, and reliability. Rubrik shares that mindset. Together, we’re focused on strengthening the technological resilience that underpins performance across our racing programs.”

Echoing this sentiment, Bipul Sinha, CEO, Chairman, and Co-Founder of Rubrik, added: “In a sport where champions can be determined by milliseconds, teams must have the most resilient technology, with data that is always available. We excel at securing systems to drive business performance, and we are proud to partner with McLaren Racing, a World Championship-winning team firing on all cylinders.”

The partnership underscores the growing intersection of motorsport and cutting-edge tech, where cyber threats pose as much risk as on-track rivals. By integrating Rubrik’s tools, McLaren aims to fortify its operations against disruptions, ensuring that innovation and performance remain uninterrupted.
