- Formula One literally never stops.
We are racing every other week
in front of the world.
- The aerodynamics and the driver
and the engine and even the tires,
there's so many things that
can affect car performance.
- Over the course of a race weekend,
we generate about 35 billion data points.
We need to take all of those data points
and use them to make us go faster.
- We use Microsoft
technologies everywhere from
Dynamics 365 through to
desktop operating systems,
server operating systems, and as well as
some of the machine
learning tools that we do.
We design a part, we run it as
a simulated aerodynamic flow.
We manufacture a model of the
part to run in the wind tunnel
and we create an engineering change order.
And we track it's entire life cycle,
through design process, manufacturing,
all goes through Dynamics 365.
- That is very precious
for a business like us,
we need to monitor what we are spending,
the way that we are spending it.
If you look at the cost of
building and operating
Formula One race cars,
our infrastructure was
extremely expensive.
Azure is absolutely key
to what we are doing,
and it has actually allowed us to save
an awful lot in our infrastructure cost.
We need to have something different
if we want to develop that
competitive advantage.
And that's what we call innovation.
- Microsoft, with their
drive for innovation,
is very, very compatible with what
we are trying to achieve in Formula One.
I am convinced that there
is enough experience
in Microsoft to come up with solutions
that immediately will
make a difference to us.
