Using Big Data To Accelerate F1 Success

More than any other sport, Formula One has embraced a data-driven business culture, particularly as regards its near obsession with marginal gains and continuous improvement. Starting in the late 1980s, teams began to develop the ability to gather, process, store, and utilise information streams in order to better manage risk, optimise performance and guarantee outcomes.

Data acquisition and analytics are now a cornerstone technology, enabling drivers, trackside engineers, and headquarters staff to determine precisely how the car and driver are behaving, diagnose issues, resolve problems, and speed up decision-making. As information flows seamlessly around the globe, linking cars, teams, and factories, data security is essential, and robust systems ensure protection from multiple threats.

The use of simulators has transformed driver training, enabling systems to be learned, tested, and developed in a virtual environment before real-world deployment. With the advent of additive manufacturing, machine learning, and AI across Formula One, the sport’s use of Big Data to transform all aspects of its operations is set to accelerate further.

It has a very strong story to share about profound change in relation to abandoning fossil fuels and eliminating emissions.
