Adata-rich industry , Formula 1 pushes the latest technological boundaries as well as speed . Oracle Red Bull Racing recently had one of its most successful seasons in recent years , achieving 23 podium finishes and Max Verstappen winning the driver ’ s championship in 2021 .
During last season , the team took advantage of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure ( OCI ), which helped them to increase the number of simulations they ran by 25x to improve the accuracy of their predictions and sharpen their decision-making .
An important part of the sport is decision making , allowing race strategists more time to make the right call , the team also accelerated simulation speed by 10x . OCI helped to reduce the cost of running billions of simulations , allowing the team to improve performance on the track , which is critical for success under F1 ’ s stringent spending regulations .
This season , OCI will enable the Oracle Red Bull Racing Team to expand the volume and variety of data they analyse and increase the speed at which simulations run in order to better predict tactics that will hopefully lead to the podium .
“ The presence of Oracle , one of the world ’ s largest cloud technology companies , as title partner not only signals huge confidence in Red Bull Racing ’ s ability to lead the technology race on track , it will also enable us to drive forward our ambitions for fan engagement , a core tenet of our marketing strategy ,” said Oliver Hughes , chief marketing officer , Oracle Red Bull Racing .
“ We want to take fans with us on our competitive journey in F1 , putting them right at the heart of the racing action and Oracle ’ s world class innovation and technology will help us achieve that goal ."
