Formula 1, the world’s largest racing organization, has filed two separate trademark applications for NFT and cryptocurrency.
In the world of Formula 1 racing, many crypto companies are already collaborating with organizations or teams. It is possible to come across crypto companies above teams such as the British racing team McLaren, the reigning champion RedBull and the Italian Alfa Romeo. In organizations, they are also featured on runway signs. Now Formula 1 is taking steps to create a brand of its own.

The street race, which was highlighted with a special event last year, will take place in the very center of Las Vegas.
