The FIA has announced a significant partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enhance its digital capabilities. As the governing body of Formula 1, the FIA aims to use AWS's AI tools to streamline the production of future technical regulations. The collaboration also sees AWS becoming the official AI and Cloud Computing Partner for the FIA.
The governing body currently uses AWS for aerodynamic simulations, which allows for virtual air flow tests, thus saving time and costs associated with physical testing. This partnership will also expand the digital licensing platform used by the FIA, simplifying processes such as licence administration. This would benefit both national sporting authorities and officials in running their events more efficiently.
The digital platform, previously trialled in Canada and Sri Lanka, will now be rolled out to more countries. This move is part of the FIA's broader digital transformation, with president Mohammed Ben Sulayem emphasizing the importance of technology in shaping the future of their sport. The partnership will help from the cars of the future to grassroots clubs, moving closer to the FIA's ambition of doubling global motor sport participation.
AWS has been a partner of F1 management since 2018, with their tools processing telemetry data for broadcast use, powering live strategy predictions.
