Formula One motor-racing team McLaren-Honda has entered into content partnerships with Amazon Prime, the subscription service operated by e-commerce and media company Amazon, and Indian pay-television broadcaster Star Sports.
McLaren-Honda will work with Amazon Prime to create a documentary series about the team’s 2017 season.

The multi-part series will be a global release exclusive to Amazon Prime and will be made available in over 200 countries where Amazon Prime is active.
Separately, Star Sports has been appointed as a corporate partner of the team and will produce a range of exclusive video content.
Star Sports and McLaren-Honda will work together to create bespoke content for the broadcaster’s various television and digital channels. In addition, Star Sports branding will appear on the overalls of McLaren-Honda drivers throughout the 2017 season.
