Cryptocurrency exchange platform Binance has announced a collaboration with Formula 1 team driver BWT Alpine Pierre Gasly.
Catering to both crypto and F1 fans, the cryptocurrency exchange has launched a design contest.
As part of the contest, people will be able to submit designs for Gasly’s helmet which he will be wearing at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The race will be taking place on the 26th of November.
