As reported, Formula 1 signed a global licensing agreement with blockchain startup Animoca Brands in March of this year, paving the way for the development of the F1 Delta Time Game.
At the time, both parties underscored the significant brand power of Formula 1 and the new licensing agreement's potential to broaden consumer exposure to blockchain.
Animoca Brands has also entered into a licensing agreement with Atari - famous for being the developer of iconic video games such as Tetris and Pac Man.
