Formula 1 teams leverage digital tools and AI to optimize car performance while managing costs under new budget caps. Digital twins, virtual models of the race cars, simulate track conditions and stress-test each component, allowing teams to fine-tune vehicles before hitting the racetrack. Real-time data transmission enables swift feedback from off-track analysts to race-day engineers, enhancing strategic decision-making. Sponsorships by tech giants like Oracle and Google highlight this tech-focused F1 shift, integrating cloud infrastructure and advanced analytics into teams’ operations.
