Brings Oracle AI to the pit wall to increase
efficiency of sporting regulation reviews
Standardizes on Oracle Virtualization from the
factory to the track to increase flexibility, streamline IT
infrastructure, and simplify training
AUSTIN,
Texas and MILTON KEYNES,
England, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Red
Bull Racing, the multiple championship winning Formula One team, is
expanding its use of Oracle Cloud and AI technologies on and off
the track as the team kicks off the 2025 Formula One (F1)
season.
"Since the start of our partnership, Oracle has given us a
technical advantage that has helped us win races, championships,
and fans," said Christian Horner,
CEO and Team Principal, Oracle Red Bull Racing. "Performance gains
are the lifeblood of competition in F1, and Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure is the best choice to help us reach our goals on the
track. From the factory to the podium, Oracle Cloud and AI
technologies continue to provide the insights that help make Oracle
Red Bull Racing one of the most successful teams in Formula One
history."
Oracle Red Bull Racing relies on Oracle Cloud to drive
performance on and off the track. For example, Oracle Red Bull
Racing runs billions of simulations on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
(OCI) before and during each race to ensure it has the best
data-driven strategy in place to quickly react to variations in car
performance, track conditions, and competitor actions. For the 2025
F1 season, Oracle Red Bull Racing will leverage the new OCI Compute
A2 and OCI Compute A4 Flex shapes to increase simulation speeds by
10 percent, enabling the team to run even more simulations each
week to test a wider variety of scenarios and improve race-day
decisions. Since moving its race strategy infrastructure to OCI in
2021, Oracle Red Bull Racing has already increased the speed of its
simulations by 25 percent, giving the team a significant strategic
advantage on race day.
In addition to using Oracle Cloud to strengthen its race
strategy in the 2025 F1 season, Oracle Red Bull Racing will also
use Oracle technology to:
- Unlock generative AI-powered insights: In a
groundbreaking pilot, Oracle is helping Oracle Red Bull Racing
bring GenAI to the pit wall. After a race concludes, teams only
have 30 minutes to protest a penalty. In that brief window of time,
each team must review thousands of pages of historical regulatory
rulings and build a case for a protest. The GenAI solution from
Oracle – consisting of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) coupled
with a large language model (LLM) – will enable Oracle Red Bull
Racing to query all historical regulations and generate responses
in real time, dramatically improving its ability to efficiently
query and adapt to sporting regulations over a race weekend.
- Optimize powertrain development: Red Bull Ford
Powertrains, the future supplier of hybrid power units for Oracle
Red Bull Racing for the 2026 F1 season and beyond, is building its
next-gen sustainable fuel engine with OCI. By running its most
complex simulations on OCI, the Red Bull Ford Powertrain's
engineering team is taking advantage of the latest cloud
technologies to help overcome the challenge of building a
sophisticated new engine development business from the ground up.
This year, OCI will help power the refinements that optimize
performance and reliability as the powertrain moves from prototype
to production.
- Increase fan engagement: The Paddock, the
multi-award-winning fan engagement platform running on Oracle
CrowdTwist Loyalty and Engagement, has exploded in popularity since
its debut in 2021 and now has hundreds of thousands of members
across 156 countries. Oracle Fusion Cloud Customer Experience (CX)
solutions have helped Oracle Red Bull Racing get closer to its fans
through exciting campaigns that leverage sophisticated loyalty
capabilities, such as content personalization, user-generated
content, and members-only rewards.
- Standardize infrastructure from factory to trackside:
Starting this season, all Oracle Red Bull Racing trackside
infrastructure – including car sensor monitors, dashboard displays,
and garage computers – will run on Oracle Virtualization, Oracle
Linux, and Oracle Cloud Native Environment. By using Oracle Linux,
Oracle Red Bull Racing is running the same operating system used by
thousands of Oracle customers on-premises and in the cloud, and
used by Oracle to run OCI. As a result of this standardization,
Oracle Red Bull Racing's IT team members can run the same code on
the same operating system in OCI as well as locally, easily
transitioning their work between any location – trackside, factory,
or remote – using the same operating environment. This will deliver
significant cost and time savings by eliminating work duplication
and improving flexibility.
"Oracle Red Bull Racing has approached its technology strategy
with the same relentless focus on performance that has underpinned
its dominance on the track," said Karan
Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
"Our collective success is a testament to the performance and
flexibility of Oracle Cloud and our teams' collaborative effort to
push the boundaries of innovation."
The 2025 F1 season begins March
14-16 with the Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
