Success in Formula 1 rests on a delicate balance of several factors: the car, the drivers and the strategy. When performance levels are very close, it’s often the tactical choices made on the pitwall that tip the scales. Strategy has become one of the most complex disciplines in modern F1, with teams analysing dozens of possible combinations behind the scenes as they try to anticipate every race scenario. In today’s F1, the challenge is clear: the winning approach isn’t to respond, it’s to anticipate.
This is where a tool that has become invaluable to many teams comes into play: RaceWatch, the platform developed by Catapult and is also used by the FIA. However, its roots go back nearly 20 years, and season after season it has evolved alongside an increasingly complex F1, eventually becoming a strategic ally capable of turning data into competitive advantage.
