Since 2009, QuantumBlack has provided software, analytics, and support to 3 of the top Formula One teams, helping them win more than 300 Championship points through better race strategy decision-making.
Formula One is a hyper-competitive sport. At the end of 2010, 10 of the top 20 drivers were separated by 5 points or less in the Championship; 7 by 2 points or less. The relative competitiveness of the field has in turn made race strategy a critical aspect of that competition.
We have developed a powerful suite of competitive analysis and statistical estimation techniques, opponent forecasting and strategy optimization methods, and advanced visual interfaces for race strategy decision-making. These algorithms have assisted in the accrual of more than 300 Championship points since 2009.
