Oracle has recently enhanced its partnership with Red Bull Racing and introduced a new team name – Oracle Red Bull Racing and the Team’s new car for the upcoming season, the RB18.
Under the partnership, the Oracle Red Bull Racing team will take advantage of the Oracle Cloud across its most significant areas of operation, including analytics-based race strategy, optimised engine development, AI and machine learning-powered driver training and a tailored fan experience.
“Oracle Cloud-enabled us to make race-day decisions that helped Max Verstappen win the 2021 Drivers’ Championship. Discovering and reacting to opportunities quickly is crucial to our success on and off the track, and Oracle is integral in that effort. Every element of our performance is driven by data analysis. Having Oracle as our title partner shows the confidence we have in their expertise and their ability to deliver a true competitive advantage,” said Christian Horner, Team Principal and CEO, Oracle Red Bull Racing.
During the last F1 season’s championship run, the Team was able to take advantage of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), allowing them to increase the number of simulations they ran by 1,000x to improve the accuracy of their predictions and sharpen their decision-making.
Additionally, they accelerated simulation speed by 10x, giving race strategists more time to make the right call. The OCI also enabled the Team to reduce the cost of billions of simulations significantly. This allowed them to cost-effectively 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 to predict tactics better.
