CHENNAI: McLaren Racing has announced a new multi-year partnership with software company Freshworks (NASDAQ: FRSH), naming it an Official Partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Team.

The team has already begun integrating Freshworks’ AI-powered ITSM solution, Freshservice, to streamline operations and enhance productivity in the ongoing F1 season.

The Freshservice platform is expected to allow McLaren to manage IT service requests efficiently across global locations, ensuring smooth operations and minimising technical disruptions during races.
