One of the most important tools in F1 development is the simulator. Gathering and analyzing data is a crucial step in developing and improving an F1 car. These days, data is not only gathered on the track, but also in virtual environments. This is where the simulator into play.

In this episode, we speak with none other than Mick Schumacherabout working with the simulator..

F1 is all about finding the tiniest margins for improvement - both on the race track and with technology. Collecting as much data as possible is crucial, so there is tons of data that needs to be processed, stored, and protected. IONOS has developed a cloud-based solution that makes all of this easier. Gary Foote, CIO of the Haas F1 team, explains the importance of data in the team’s racing strategy and how IONOS Cloud became a key partner to help collect, analyse and secure the vast amount of data the team needs to help continually optimise its performance..

While maneuvering the car is still the primary function of an F1 steering wheel, it is far more than that. Rather, the steering wheel houses a variety of functions – making it the control centre of the car. Throughout a race, the driver and race engineer work closely to ensure optimal car settings are deployed at any given time. In this podast, Gary Cannon - Mick Schumacher’s race engineer - explains the frequency, rationale and complexity of setting changes.
