HANNAH SCHMITZ Leads Red Bull’s AI-Powered Strategy Revolution in Formula 1

August 15, 2025

• HANNAH SCHMITZ, strategy engineer for Red Bull Racing, is at the forefront of Formula 1’s AI revolution, using predictive analytics to transform race strategy. She explains how her team runs simulations before reaching each track, modeling tire performance, overtaking opportunities, and competitor pace predictions that get refined with real-time data throughout race weekends.
• Modern F1 teams collect up to 1.5 terabytes of data per race weekend from 300+ sensors, with AI systems powered by Oracle Cloud and AWS processing this information in real-time. These tools analyze everything from tire degradation to driver biometrics, providing instant feedback that helps teams make split-second decisions that can determine victory or defeat.
• The technology extends beyond race day strategy into comprehensive digital twins and simulation environments that allow teams to test thousands of scenarios virtually. AI-driven crash prediction systems monitor driver behavior and vehicle telemetry to prevent accidents, while conversational AI interfaces help drivers process complex data without mental overload during high-speed competition.
