    IN THE high-stakes arena of Formula 1 (F1) racing, the margin between victory and defeat is measured in milliseconds. The best F1 teams understand that the success of every race-day decision is predicated on the time it takes for data to travel from input to action.

    What enables this information transfer? Real-time data streaming.

    From car design to engine performance to driver biometrics, data has long played a pivotal role across the sport. But this has shifted into a higher gear with real-time streaming, which has become a game-changer for F1 – and can transform businesses as well.
