At the F1 U.S. Grand Prix, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team CIO Michael Taylor and HPE’s Max Walker explain how the team rebuilds its IT at every race, self-hosts AI under the FIA cost cap, and cuts simulation time from three days to one. Their partnership shows how resilient infrastructure and iterative AI adoption let organizations move fast without breaking what works.

At the F1 U.S. Grand Prix, Toto Wolff and Antonio Neri join Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman to talk about what happens when the strategy model and the driver disagree, why Wolff’s strategy team wins that argument 99% of the time, and where the cost cap lets Mercedes spend on AI next. Nearly 10 years into the HPE partnership, the lesson for the enterprise is to decide who owns the final call before the pressure hits.
