TeamViewer thanks to the Tensor connectivity platform supports the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team performance, ensuring better access to critical data during tests and qualifying. In a highly competitive world like Formula 1, where every millisecond counts, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team leaves nothing to chance by relying on cutting-edge technologies at every stage of its activities to gain a competitive edge.
Immediate access
With engineers both trackside and in the so-called Race Support Room (RSR) operating at the factory, the team needs continuous communication between them and the drivers to make split-second decisions. Immediate access to data, video and telemetry is therefore essential for deciding a correct race strategy.
In the past, the team has had to deal with problems of reliability of the software in use which hindered the provision of accurate and real-time data to the pilots. After implementing with success TeamViewer Tensor as a company-wide remote connectivity platform, the team again turned to TeamViewer for data feeds on the ‘drop-down’ screen used in the trackside pits.

TeamViewer is faster, more reliable and has more features than any other solution on the market. In this way, in a reality where i milliseconds they make the difference in the results and the communication between the drivers and the race engineers is fundamental, we are able to guarantee the performance that is required.
Remote connectivity
TeamViewer’s remote connectivity solution ensures that every decision is based on accurate and up-to-date information, improving the team’s strategy for every race. Additionally, end-to-end encryption and conditional access policies are important for team data security.
Reliability, speed and security
Peter Turner, Chief Commercial Officer di TeamViewer
Considering the pace that sets race weekends, any technological implementation must be able to keep up. Even a single second of delay in riders accessing the data they need between races could impact the entire weekend. Our remote connectivity Tensor platform for the enterprise market meets these performance needs and is backed by a security system that ensures proprietary data is kept within the team. For the Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1 team, reliability, speed and safety are fundamental elements and this is what Tensor guarantees.
