Fun additional detail:

As part of our sales and marketing activities, we sponsor a CrowdStrike-branded professional racing car, which our President and Chief Executive Officer drives in some races at no incremental cost to us and in lieu of us hiring a professional driver. As we do not pay any amounts to our President and Chief Executive Officer under these arrangements, it is not reflected in the above table.

If I was an investor, I would say this is reckless.

Lots of companies sponsor race cars, and Crowdstrike seems to have gotten a co-branding thing out of it (they're now the EDR product for some Formula One teams or something). It's about as reckless or not reckless as any other marketing expense.

Unless you mean the potential for George to meet his fiery doom in an F1 car, in which case, yes, I agree.

F1 Teams hacking each other to gain advantage would make a great movie, I wonder if it has ever happened in real life.
