The Cadillac Formula 1 Team has selected Core Scientific as its official data center partner.

The agreement is for a multi-year partnership, under which Core Scientific will advise and "shape" Cadillac's data center infrastructure at its upcoming headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Currently under construction, once completed, the data center will be used for high-density workloads, including simulation, as well as supporting engineering, manufacturing, and race operations.

Core Scientific will provide strategic consulting, architectural guidance, and optimization expertise to help Cadillac establish compute that is "secure, scalable, and capable of supporting the high-density computing demands of modern Formula 1 development."

Cadillac's Indiana campus will be located in Fishers, next to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport. The facility is a $200 million development, set to span some 400,000 sq ft (37,160 sqm), and will be used for the designing and manufacturing of F1 cars.

In addition to the high-performance infrastructure, Core Scientific will assist with the establishment of hybrid-cloud environments to support Cadillac's US and UK operations.

“Cadillac Formula 1 Team’s entry into Formula 1 marks a historic moment in American motorsport,” said Adam Sullivan, CEO of Core Scientific. “We’re proud to support the team’s data and technology strategy through our expertise in designing, building, and operating high-density data centers engineered for the world’s most demanding workloads.”

“Building an F1 team from the ground up offers us the opportunity to build custom-fit systems and processes for the task at hand. We are pleased to work with Core Scientific to create the best infrastructure solutions to realize our future ambitions,” added Cadillac Formula 1 Team global head of commercial strategy, Tyler Epp.

Cadillac has operations in Indianapolis, Indiana; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Silverstone in the UK. The team only debuted in F1 this week at the Australian Grand Prix, the first completely new team to enter the sport in a decade.

Oracle Red Bull Racing renews cloud contract with Oracle

In other recent Formula 1 news, Oracle Red Bull Racing has extended its partnership with another multi-year deal.

The expanded partnership will see Red Bull continuing to rely on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle AI for the debt of of Red Bull Ford Powertrains’ next-generation hybrid power unit, advanced race-strategy simulations, and for an AI strategy agent. The team will also use Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications for finance, HR, and marketing.

For the Powertrain unit, Red Bull uses OCI’s high-performance computing, bare metal infrastructure, and large-scale simulation capabilities to design, validate, and refine the hybrid engine. According to the team, it has been able to do this in “record time” using Oracle’s technology.

The 2026 regulations for Formula 1 have stepped up requirements, demanding more sophisticated modeling, which in turn will enable the team to run deeper and more granular simulations on OCI.

New models will enable the company to account for energy usage, active aero configurations, deployment windows, tire interactions, and thousands of potential race scenarios.

Laurent Mekies, CEO and team principal, said: “Since Oracle became the Team’s title partner in 2021, the Team has delivered three Drivers’ World Championships, two Constructors’ World Championships, and broken many records. We rely on Oracle’s invaluable expertise to help us understand and optimize countless variables with greater precision and speed than the competition."

Clay Magouyrk, CEO, Oracle, added: “Oracle Red Bull Racing relies on Oracle Cloud and Oracle AI to achieve the highest levels of performance and solve some of the most complex, time-critical challenges in the world. The same technologies the Team uses to model strategy, refine its hybrid power unit, and deploy the latest AI innovations trackside are the ones powering transformation for companies across every industry."
