Mastercard is accelerating excitement for the 2026 Formula 1 season with the launch of Team Priceless, an exclusive global fan initiative in partnership with the McLaren F1 Team. This marks the first time the McLaren F1 Team and a naming partner have offered unprecedented access to the team, giving McLaren’s most passionate supporters unseen insight and curated local experiences through the lens of Team Papaya.
About the program:
• Bringing together four regional fans at each stop, Team Priceless will travel to five race locations worldwide this season, kicking off in Melbourne before heading to Miami, the U.K., Mexico City and Abu Dhabi.
• Members will unlock Priceless Experiences only available through Mastercard, including the opportunity to experience the best seat in the McLaren Racing garage to witness prep for the race — the newly dedicated Priceless seat — plus the chance to meet McLaren Formula 1 Team drivers Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri and the McLaren engineers, along with other behind-the-scenes moments throughout the weekend.
•Fans selected for Team Priceless will also create content that captures their journey from a unique perspective — bringing the global papaya fan community closer to the thrill of race weekend.
How to join Team Priceless:
• Miami is the first Team Priceless squad being recruited. Fans who are eligible cardholders across North America can enter for the opportunity to join beginning December 12, 2025, continuing through December 23, 2025*, by following the submission details on priceless.com/TeamMiami and displaying their passion for the McLaren F1 Team on social media.
