Hexagon's digital reality technologies drive
maximum performance for Oracle Red Bull Racing, ready for 2026 rule
changes
LONDON, Feb. 19,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hexagon has announced a
multi-year renewal of its long-established innovation partnership
with one of the most successful Formula 1 teams in history, Oracle
Red Bull Racing.
- Hexagon's digital reality technologies enable over 20,000 car
design changes each season, ensuring precision and speed for
winning performance
- As the exclusive metrology partner, Hexagon embeds quality at
Formula 1 speed, helping Oracle Red Bull Racing stay ahead amid
evolving regulations
- Multi-year renewal strengthens the 18-year innovation
partnership between the two brands, driving shared innovation and
success across the Red Bull Technology Campus and every F1 race
worldwide.
For 18 years, Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division has
been a trusted partner to Oracle Red Bull Racing. It delivers
cutting-edge 3D laser scanning and digitalisation solutions that
have enabled the racing team to climb to and remain at the pinnacle
of the most technologically advanced and complex sport. This
renewed partnership will see a history of shared innovation,
business support and success continue between the two companies,
following Max Verstappen's fourth
successive World Drivers Championship title in 2024.
Demonstrating further commitment to the Team, Hexagon will
expand their partnership through Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing,
inspiring the next generation of STEM professionals with a focus on
the engineering sector and bridging the gap between sim racing and
F1.
Hexagon branding will feature on the lower sidepod of the RB21,
signifying their longstanding contribution to the operation of the
car. Further branding will feature across Oracle Red Bull Sim
Racing liveries for the F1 Sim Racing World Championship and
Porsche Esports Supercup, as well as at the Team's home in the Red
Bull Racing Erena.
The partnership is crucial ahead of the 2026 season as new
sporting regulations come into effect that require all cars to be
completely redesigned. This will welcome a new era of more "agile,
competitive, safer and more sustainable" racing, as described by
the sport's governing body, the FIA. Hexagon's advanced
digitization technology will ensure Oracle Red Bull Racing continue
to spearhead innovation, finding the limit of the sport's new
regulations to extract maximum performance.
With thousands of design changes each season, Hexagon has
enabled the team to achieve the highest levels of speed and agility
by seamlessly integrating quality inspection and digitalisation
into its engineering processes. The accuracy of these technologies
ensures the extreme levels of precision and quality required at the
first attempt, delivering unmatched productivity. The speed at
which it captures data also ensures Oracle Red Bull Racing
maintains its competitive edge both on and off the track, providing
the trusted insights needed for rapid design development.
With eight of the 10 teams, including Oracle Red Bull Racing,
making driver changes in the off season, 2025 promises to be a
fiercely competitive season decided by the smallest of margins. To
maximise performance, Hexagon's 3D laser scanning technology and
trackside support will provide crucial support in refining
aerodynamics, ensuring precision setups that propel the team to the
front of the grid each race. Hexagon's history-making contributions
to the team will be celebrated by the appearance of its logo on the
car throughout the 2025 season, starting with the opening race in
Melbourne.
Christian Horner, Team Principal
and Oracle Red Bull Racing's CEO, said: "Hexagon has played a vital
role in the success we've achieved over a long period as a valued
partner to the team. Our technology partners are a crucial element
for us and we're very selective about who we work with. Hexagon
will ensure our competitiveness for years to come."
Josh Weiss, president of
Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division, commented: "At
Hexagon, we're honoured to continue our partnership with Oracle Red
Bull Racing, where our advanced measurement technologies play a key
role in driving on-track success. Sharing a legacy of
entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, and excellence, we're excited
to face the challenges of the upcoming season and embrace an even
greener, more exhilarating era in 2026 and beyond."
The Oracle Red Bull Racing team has reduced faults by 50% over
the past two years. Measurements from Hexagon's ultra-fast scanning
technologies guarantee every component is manufactured to the
required accuracy as the car is reassembled for each race to the
quality required and within the FIA regulations, including the cap
on team expenditure that leaves little room for mistakes.
The 2025 car was revealed at the F1 75 Live event at
London's O2 arena on
18th February, with Hexagon proudly featured as an
Innovation partner, representing the growing collaboration of the
two technology innovators.
