To have one of the fastest and best liked F1 drivers in the world as our ambassador is a fantastic endorsement for our business. Daniel is a leader in his industry as we are in ours, so we see it as a fantastic relationship. We are on an amazing journey as we continue to improve the online car buying and selling experience for all of Mexico.” said Ramirez.
Ricciardo will be sporting the soloautos logo on the chin position of his driving helmet during the race. His new one-off helmet will be unveiled at the race. Ricciardo will also feature in an outdoor and digital campaign across Mexico.
