[music]Data is extremely important as a team. It's what we learn from. My time in Formula 1, it has just exploded. [music] The amount of knowledge you collect during a single app is far more than you're able to analyze after. You obviously have live transmission from the data [music] you collect on track to the pit wall to the pits. Uh where you have plenty of [music] engineers and staff and people looking at what the car is doing at every second. They can see every corner, every gear shift, every time I [music] hit the brakes, every throttle application, what the car is doing, how the engine's responding, how the tires are responding, how the balance of the car is responding. >> Obviously, you have communication with the team. You have certain feedback on what the car is doing. If there's a 5 km headwind going into a corner and that spins around 180° and um becomes a 5 km tailwind, that completely changes the amount of grip that you have going into [music] that corner and the behavior of the car going into that corner.The quicker we receive [music] data, the better.>> I think the important thing is to understand which bits are important at which time and what you need to [music] really address in order to go faster. data is, you know, an extremely important tool that we uh rely on heavily every weekend. >> I think we reached an age where we can't think of racing our car without data, without the information that we collect whilst the car is switched on or running on track.
Although drivers Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll are alone in the cockpit, they have a team of engineers pouring over vast amounts of data coming off the car. The shorter the feedback loop, the faster Seb and Lance can improve their lap times.
