Let’s be honest — F1 fans don’t just watch races, they analyze them.

Lap times. Tire strategy. Weather shifts. Driver radio drama.

Now imagine getting all of that... curated by AI... directly on your phone.

That’s what IBM and Ferrari just made real.

🧠 Powered by watsonx — Ferrari’s AI Sidekick

Built with the same tech used in finance, healthcare, and aerospace (because F1 is rocket science), the new Ferrari app delivers a full-sensory upgrade:

🚥 Race Summaries

• AI-generated recaps available within hours

• Includes driver reflections and team commentary

• Translates raw data into real storytelling

📊 Data Visualizations

• Telemetry, track conditions, tire strategy... visualized dynamically

• You’ll see exactly what Ferrari’s engineers see

📚 Historic Insights

💬 Fan Experience, Rebooted

Let’s talk about the real star: you — the fans.

Here’s how the app now puts you in the driver’s seat:

📨 Direct Messaging

• UFC 🥋

And now, Formula 1 — the most data-hungry, speed-obsessed sport of them all.
