Oracle Red Bull Racing has expanded its use of Oracle Cloud and AI technologies as it launches the 2025 Formula One season, aiming to enhance performance both on and off the track. The team will leverage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to run billions of simulations, increasing simulation speeds by 10% using OCI Compute A2 and A4 Flex shapes. Since moving race strategy operations to OCI in 2021, Oracle Red Bull Racing has already boosted simulation speeds by 25%, enhancing race-day decision-making.
The partnership also introduces new AI applications to improve regulatory reviews during race weekends. Oracle is piloting a GenAI-powered system using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and large language models (LLMs) to help the team query and process historical sporting regulations in real time, especially within the tight 30-minute protest window after a race. Beyond race strategy, Oracle Cloud supports Red Bull Ford Powertrains’ development of hybrid engines for the 2026 season and powers The Paddock, Oracle Red Bull Racing’s fan engagement platform now active in over 150 countries.
Additionally, Oracle Red Bull Racing will standardize its IT infrastructure across its factory and trackside operations, using Oracle Virtualization, Oracle Linux, and Oracle Cloud Native Environment. This shift simplifies workflows for the team’s IT staff by creating a unified operating environment, reducing costs and improving flexibility across its global operations.
• OCI powers a 10% increase in simulation speeds, enabling more race strategy simulations weekly.
• Oracle Red Bull Racing pilots GenAI to streamline regulatory reviews within post-race protest windows.
• OCI supports Red Bull Ford Powertrains in building hybrid engines for the 2026 F1 season.
• The Paddock fan engagement platform, built on Oracle CrowdTwist and Fusion CX, expands globally.
• Standardized IT infrastructure with Oracle Linux and Virtualization improves operational flexibility from the factory to the pit wall.
“Since the start of our partnership, Oracle has given us a technical advantage that has helped us win races, championships, and fans,” said Christian Horner, CEO and Team Principal, Oracle Red Bull Racing.
