“Equally important is the platform it provides us, which enables us to stay true to our mission; to build and develop grassroots and professional sport in countries where we operate by bringing new opportunities to local communities,” Beighton said.
On his side, Racing Point CEO and team Principal Otmar Szafnauer welcomed the deal and praised the betting giant for supporting sport.
