Oracle Red Bull Racing Accelerates With Enhanced AI And Cloud Integration

Oracle Red Bull Racing is intensifying its collaboration with Oracle Corporation to integrate advanced cloud computing and artificial intelligence technologies into its operations for the 2025 Formula One season. This strategic move aims to bolster the team's performance both on and off the track, reflecting a commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology in the highly competitive world of motorsport.

The team has adopted Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute A2 and A4 Flex shapes, leading to a 10% increase in simulation speeds. This enhancement enables the execution of a greater number of simulations weekly, allowing for the testing of a broader array of scenarios and the formulation of more informed race-day strategies. Since transitioning its race strategy infrastructure to OCI in 2021, Oracle Red Bull Racing has achieved a 25% improvement in simulation speeds, underscoring the significant impact of cloud technology on their competitive edge.

In a pioneering initiative, Oracle and Red Bull Racing are introducing generative AI to the pit wall. This system employs retrieval-augmented generation coupled with a large language model to swiftly analyze historical regulatory rulings. Given the stringent 30-minute window to contest penalties post-race, this AI-driven approach facilitates real-time querying and adaptation to sporting regulations, thereby enhancing the team's responsiveness during critical moments.

The collaboration extends to the development of hybrid power units for the 2026 season. Red Bull Ford Powertrains is utilizing OCI to conduct complex simulations essential for building next-generation sustainable fuel engines. This endeavor represents a significant technical challenge as the team transitions from a customer team to producing its own engines, marking a substantial shift in its operational paradigm.

To streamline operations, Oracle Red Bull Racing is standardizing its trackside infrastructure by implementing Oracle Virtualization, Oracle Linux, and Oracle Cloud Native Environment. This standardization ensures seamless integration between factory and trackside operations, simplifying workflows for IT personnel and enhancing flexibility across global operations.

Beyond technical enhancements, Oracle's technology is instrumental in enriching fan engagement. The Paddock, Oracle Red Bull Racing's fan engagement platform, built on Oracle CrowdTwist and Fusion Customer Experience , has expanded to over 150 countries. This platform leverages sophisticated loyalty capabilities, such as content personalization, user-generated content, and members-only rewards, thereby bringing fans closer to the team and enhancing their overall experience.

Christian Horner, CEO and Team Principal of Oracle Red Bull Racing, emphasized the significance of these technological advancements, stating that the team's relentless pursuit of performance gains is bolstered by Oracle's cloud and AI technologies. This collaboration not only aids in winning races and championships but also in engaging a global fan base more effectively.
