The companies have been partners for 18 years.
Hexagon develops 3D laser scanning and digitalisation solutions that have helped Oracle remain on top in technologically advanced and complex sports.
The renewed partnership follows Max Verstappen’s fourth successive World Drivers Championship title in 2024.
Expanding the Partnership: Bridging Sim Racing and F1
Hexagon will expand their partnership through Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing, inspiring the next generation of STEM professionals focusing on the engineering sector and bridging the gap between sim racing and Formula 1.
The partnership is crucial ahead of the 2026 season as new sporting regulations come into effect that require all cars to be completely redesigned.
This will welcome a new era of more “agile, competitive, safer and more sustainable” racing, as described by the sport’s governing body, the FIA.
Integrating Quality Inspection and Digitalisation into Engineering
With thousands of design changes each season, Hexagon has integrated quality inspection and digitalisation into its engineering processes. The accuracy of these technologies ensures the extreme levels of precision and quality required at the first attempt.
The speed at which it captures data also ensures Oracle Red Bull Racing maintains its competitive edge both on and off the track.
The Impact of Hexagon’s Technology on Formula 1 Racing
With eight of the 10 teams, including Oracle Red Bull Racing, making driver changes in the off-season, 2025 promises to be a fiercely competitive season decided by the smallest of margins.
Hexagon’s 3D laser scanning technology and trackside support will provide crucial support in refining aerodynamics.
