Congratulations to Max Verstappen on his fourth consecutive Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship
The championship-winning Oracle Red Bull Racing team relies on Oracle Cloud to drive race strategy, engine development, fan engagement, and more. You can power your business’s AI, data, and apps using the same cloud that Oracle Red Bull Racing uses.
How do you keep winning championships year after year? By getting even faster. Oracle Red Bull Racing ran more than 150 billion race-strategy simulations on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in the 2024 season, helping give drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez their best chances to win.
—Christian Horner, Team Principal and CEO, Oracle Red Bull Racing
OCI helps Oracle Red Bull Racing take a big step forward on their 2026 engine
Using OCI, Oracle Red Bull Racing ran 6 billion simulations every race during the 2024 season to give their drivers an edge. Real-time insights on performance and myriad other factors sharpen decision-making and help produce wins.
OCI’s performance allows the Oracle Red Bull Racing team to run 1 million Monte Carlo simulations per second throughout every race to help guide strategy decisions. By leveraging a modern technology stack, utilizing the power and flexibility of Kubernetes, they can scale up their simulation platform while keeping costs within the tight spending regulations defined by the sport.
Using Oracle Advertising and Customer Experience, the team developed an engagement platform, the Oracle Red Bull Racing Paddock, to help fans get closer to the team. One example is the team offers sim racing so that fans can drive an online version of the F1 race courses, using OCI to see how their performance compares to Verstappen’s and Pérez’s performances. No other F1 team shares drivers’ data, such as how and when they brake and shift, with their fans like this. Fans drove more than 250,000 simulation laps in the first six months it was available.
The Oracle Red Bull Racing Paddock has grown its loyalty membership by more than 950%.
Cloud-based computing is vital to Red Bull Ford Powertrains’ plan to design and build a new hybrid power unit for the 2026 racing season.
