With the reputation as the most expensive sports in the world, a multi-car Formula 1 team’s average annual budget is nearly $500 million dollars. Formula 1 has not only birthed multinational corporations and a viewing audience of over 500 million people, but its innovation and technological advances are permeating a plethora of industries such as cycling, healthcare, and big data.

Formula 1 cars race at speeds over 185 mph and therefore requires the utmost safety features. A race car will have nearly 500 different sensors between the car and the driver in order to collect data to understand the condition of the car, the environment, and the driver. These sensors and data are being applied to healthcare in order to fight obesity, strokes, and arthritis, as well as creating products, such as high-performance bicycles, that have intelligence built into the materials.

The innovation in “Motorsport Valley” is accelerating at Formula 1 speeds; don’t get left behind.
