FIA PARTNERS WITH AWS TO HELP DRIVE FUTURE F1 REGULATIONS

The FIA locked in Amazon Web Services as its Official AI and Cloud Computing Partner to overhaul how the governing body writes technical regulations and manages the sport's administrative backbone. AWS's AI tools will help shape future rule sets, while its High Performance Computing tech already runs the FIA's aerodynamic simulations — a virtual wind tunnel that cuts costs and speeds up development without building physical parts.

The deal also expands the FIA's digital licensing platform, first tested in Canada and Sri Lanka, to streamline licence administration and event management for national sporting authorities. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem framed it as essential infrastructure for the sport's growth, targeting a goal to double global motorsport participation.

AWS has been F1's innovation partner since 2018, powering the telemetry-driven graphics and live strategy predictions fans see on broadcast. Now the FIA gets the same infrastructure, potentially accelerating how quickly the governing body can test and roll out future regulations.
