From a strategy side, we've been using a lot of machine learning in order to run, we run hundreds of thousands of simulations
generally in the evening before the next day on a circuit.
So we collect some data during the day about our tire model or whatever it is that we're trying to answer.
And then that evening we run
those machine learning models with all of the inputs that we've collected through the day in order to try and foresee what the race might look like, to have a lot of variability in strategies that others might try to do and pit stop windows and how the tires might change.
So we run this magnitude of simulations in order to hone in on what we believe is the right answer or the most likely way the race will go.
That happens quite regularly on a Friday or Saturday night when the race is about due to take place on a Sunday morning.
We're now at a point where teams can continue to run those models through the race.
So every lap of the race, the unknowns are reducing because you've got a better read on how others are performing or how
what tyres they have remaining, for example.
And now, lap on lap, we're able to complete those simulations again and again and again.
And that has given us more and more information about how the remainder of the race might look.
And that's very, very valuable to what we can do.
I think from my own experience, there was a race that we completed in 2020
in Bahrain it was the only race that I've won as a race strategist and on the Saturday night through running the machine learning models through looking at lots and lots of different possibilities of what might happen we knew that the tyre we were starting the race on because of a regulation was not actually what we would do if we had total freedom
So normally you'd restrict yourself to only looking at what you could do legally.
But in this case, we looked at all of the possibilities of what we could do.
So we had a multitude of answers of which tyre we thought was best.
We had an accident on lap one, which forced us to do a pit stop.
But because we'd done the work on all of the other strategies that were possible out there, we knew that we should switch to a different type of tyre.
