The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team has announced a multiyear strategic collaboration with Arm, becoming the team’s Official AI Computing Platform Partner. This agreement aims not only to innovate in technology applied to Formula 1 but also to promote equity and inclusion in the sport as well as in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.

Arm, a global leader in efficient and high-performance computing technology, will drive advancements in AI and computing that will enable Aston Martin Aramco to redefine performance limits both on and off the track. Additionally, the collaboration includes specific initiatives to encourage women’s participation in motorsport and STEM, as well as the involvement of Jessica Hawkins, leader of the F1 Academy program, as the official ambassador of the project.


Technology and Innovation in the World’s Most Technical Sport

Arm’s technology will be key in developing advanced hardware and software solutions that improve the team’s performance. Key areas of application include:

  • Development of intelligent pit systems: Automated wheel guns, release light systems, and automated jacks.
  • Optimization of wind tunnels: Advanced instrumentation and control for simulation models.
  • AI integrated into vehicles: Technologies designed to meet growing demands for safety and real-time processing.

Peter Koerte, Chief Technology and Strategy Officer at Siemens AG, stated: “Industrial AI is a paradigm shift that will positively impact all industries. We are adding new industrial AI capabilities to our Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to keep our customers competitive, resilient, and sustainable in an increasingly complex world.”


Equity and Inclusion: A Shared Commitment

The agreement with Arm includes concrete actions to close the gender gap in motorsport and promote diverse talent:

  1. F1 Academy and Female Participation: Arm will be the primary partner for Aston Martin’s International Women’s Day activities, highlighting the role of women in STEM and motorsport.
  2. Training and Access: The team’s educational programs will be complemented by Arm’s technological resources, helping to develop a new generation of female engineers and drivers.
  3. Promotion of Inclusive Leadership: Both organizations will promote initiatives that bring job opportunities closer to women and minorities in technical areas.

Jessica Hawkins, Arm ambassador and leader of the F1 Academy, noted: “The collaboration between Arm and Aston Martin provides a platform to inspire women and youth in STEM. This joint effort will change perceptions and expand access to careers in engineering and motorsport.”


Technological Advances Unveiled at CES 2025

The collaboration was officially presented at CES 2025, where the benefits of this partnership were highlighted, such as the integration of AI to enhance track performance and the promotion of equity values. Additionally, Arm announced its commitment to designing high-performance systems that not only enhance competition but also sustainability.


Aston Martin: A Legacy of Innovation and Sustainability

Since its return to Formula 1 in 2021, Aston Martin has significantly invested in technology and sustainability. In 2023, they inaugurated their AMR Technology Campus in Silverstone, which will include a wind tunnel operational in 2025. This facility not only optimizes track performance but also reduces its environmental impact through solar panels and natural lighting strategies.

In the words of Andy Cowell, CEO of Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team: “This partnership with Arm marks an exciting chapter in our journey. It will not only enhance the team’s technical performance but also enable us to advance our ‘Make a Mark’ strategy focused on promoting inclusion and sustainability.”


A Shared Vision for the Future

The collaboration between Aston Martin and Arm extends beyond the sport. Together, these companies aim to redefine the relationship between technology, equity, and sustainability, inspiring future generations to engage in the most innovative and demanding sectors of the world.
