Dell Technologies and McLaren Racing are extending their relationship, harnessing Dell’s advanced AI infrastructure and PCs to sharpen McLaren’s competitive edge in Formula 1. As McLaren Racing’s Official Innovation Partner, Dell will continue to play a pivotal role in the team’s operations, enabling McLaren to leverage cutting-edge technology to deliver innovative car development and performance on the world stage. By working with Dell, McLaren has access to intelligent, advanced AI infrastructure to support every phase of its performance lifecycle, from car design and manufacturing through to race day operations, helping the team set new standards for what’s possible — on the track and beyond. McLaren Racing and Dell’s partnership began in February 2018, marking the start of a transformative collaboration. Over the years, Dell’s solutions and services have seamlessly integrated into McLaren’s operations, from design and engineering to trackside performance and real-time decision-making, reshaping the way the team delivers in-season improvements. Today, the relationship continues to evolve, with Dell providing infrastructure that has been a key component of McLaren’s success, including the racing team’s back-to-back Formula 1 Constructors’ Championships in 2024 and 2025 and a successful Drivers’ Championship campaign in 2025. Using the Dell AI Factory, including Dell PowerEdge servers and AI solutions, McLaren can process 1.5 terabytes of data per race weekend, turn insights into rapid simulations and empower digital twins that improve performance, allowing the racing team to refine strategies for every possible scenario. This includes detecting subtle changes in hydraulics and responding to track conditions in real time. To support these data‑intensive operations, McLaren leverages Dell storage like Dell PowerStore and Dell PowerScale to scale its data infrastructure on demand and support activities like data intensive modeling and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) workloads. This flexibility and agility are crucial for high performance computing, enabling the team to
