Digital Twins in F1™ Racing Throw Down Big Gains for Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport:

Data is at the core of all the simulation work. And with over a billion possible setup combinations, the team needs to quickly filter the data to find the optimal setup. This involves interactive visual analytics, data science, and what-if scenarios to optimize car balance and setup parameters. Target values and parameters are tracked throughout the season. When performance in a particular race is sub-optimal, there is more headroom to optimize the configuration for the next race.

In this part of our “Digital Twins in F1™” series, we talk with the Vehicle Dynamics Group about its use of TIBCO Spotfire visual analytics and TIBCO Data Science software to collect and understand data from the simulator and constantly monitor new data that’s available for analysis.
