How Red Bull's F1 team is using AI to make split-second decisions for Max Verstappen

Red Bull Racing is using AI to help staff make critical race-day decisions, while other F1 teams expand partnerships with Google, Microsoft and IBM. The system Red Bull built with Oracle started as a tool for searching F1 regulations and has evolved into an agent that recommends actions during races. At the 2025 Italian Grand Prix in Monza, after Max Verstappen cut a corner while defending, the AI recommended giving back the position to avoid a possible penalty; the team followed the advice and Verstappen later overtook his rival. Jack Harington of Oracle Red Bull Racing stressed that humans remain involved in decisions and that AI enhances engineers and strategists rather than replacing them. Verstappen also won the Singapore Grand Prix, taking his career win tally to 73.
