Formula One plans to give fans data teams don't have in TV broadcasts

Formula One will use artificial intelligence to better explain racing to fans during broadcasts of events in 2019, using some data not available to the teams themselves.

F1 has entered into a partnership with Amazon Web Services to provide new graphics using its Sagemaker tool. Broadcasts used several new graphics in the 2018 season and bosses plan to increase this further next year.

While F1's motorsport director Ross Brawn wants to give fans access to some of the data available to teams on the pit-wall, he also believes AI can give TV viewers a unique insight of every race.
