Formula 1 teams have drastically improved efficiency while handling exponentially more data. Where previously performance overshadowed efficiency, teams now operate with less budget despite increased personnel. Modern race cars boast around 750 sensors, generating 1.5 terabytes of data per race. This telemetry, analyzed both on-site and remotely in Milton Keynes, informs crucial setup adjustments and race strategy. Fast, reliable, and secure data transfer is paramount, with minimal latency, even between distant locations like Australia and the UK. According to AT&T, the speed and integrity of this data are critical to winning or losing races.
