F1 team Visa Cash App Racing Bulls (VCARB) has appointed Dynatrace as its official technology partner starting in the 2025 racing season. Using advanced AI capabilities, Dynatrace will provide VCARB with critical insights into vehicle dynamics, driver performance, and race optimization both on and off the track.
In a sport where milliseconds determine the outcome, the right real-time data can make racing more predictable and give teams the competitive edge between standing on the podium and suffering mechanical failure.
Dynatrace’s AI-driven platform helps organizations worldwide extract meaningful, real-time insights from their data. Their observability and analytics platform will transform how VCARB monitors and interprets the millions of connected data points required to operate an F1 team.
“In F1, every millisecond counts. With Dynatrace we gain insights and analytics that translate directly into performance improvements. Their AI expertise and leading observability technology complement our team. Together we can fine-tune every detail to win,” says Peter Bayer, CEO of VCARB.
“VCARB and Dynatrace share a commitment to performance and to pushing the boundaries of technical innovation. Our partnership will help VCARB turn data into a strategic asset that enables drivers, engineers, and race strategists to make immediate, race-winning decisions at critical moments. As with our other global customers, we look forward to supporting VCARB in achieving measurable results,” says Laura Heisman, Chief Marketing Officer at Dynatrace.
The collaboration will focus on leveraging Dynatrace’s AI observability to monitor car systems, analyze telemetry, and optimize performance strategies in real time—allowing quicker diagnostics, enhanced reliability, and smarter race tactics. By converting raw telemetry into prioritized, actionable insights, the team can reduce risk, speed up decision making, and improve lap times.
Beyond track performance, Dynatrace’s platform can also enhance engineering workflows, accelerate development cycles, and support predictive maintenance. These capabilities help ensure that resources are focused where they deliver the greatest competitive advantage while minimizing downtime caused by unforeseen technical issues.
Through this partnership, VCARB aims to integrate observability across its operations: from sim and wind-tunnel data to live race telemetry and pit-stop analytics. Consolidated, AI-driven observability promises to shorten feedback loops between drivers and engineers, identify subtle performance gains, and enable more confident strategic calls under pressure.
Both organizations emphasize that the collaboration is built on measurable performance goals, continuous improvement, and secure handling of sensitive data. By combining motorsport experience with AI-powered analytics, VCARB and Dynatrace intend to push performance boundaries while maintaining operational resilience.
This strategic alliance underlines a broader trend in motorsport: teams increasingly rely on real-time analytics and AI to extract competitive advantage from vast data streams. For VCARB, partnering with a specialized observability provider positions the team to capitalize on those advances and to respond faster to dynamic race conditions.
As the 2025 season approaches, VCARB and Dynatrace will begin integrating systems, aligning telemetry pipelines, and tuning models to meet the intense demands of Formula 1 racing. The synergy between on-track expertise and AI-driven insights is designed to deliver measurable performance gains when they matter most.
