Cisco helps power the McLaren F1 Team

In the relentless, high-stakes world of Formula 1, every millisecond counts and every connection matters.

Learn how Dan Keyworth, Director of Business Technology at ‪McLaren Racing, uses ‪ThousandEyes‬ to gain end-to-end visibility across their entire network, with AI-driven insights to help them ensure digital resilience and performance reliability.

The McLaren F1 Team relies on Cisco’s unified technology approach across networking, security, observability, and collaboration which enables them to anticipate, act, and manage operations across their entire portfolio - whether it’s delivering mission-critical data on race day or streamlining digital workflows that enhance performance, precision, and decision-making across the team.


AI-Ready Data Centres

Seamless connectivity from start to finish.

Latency is the enemy of progress on the track and online. And to perform their best each week, the McLaren F1 Team must extract every millisecond from every resource they have, no matter where they are in the world.

Cisco provides the AI-ready infrastructure that allows the team to power workloads across the globe, make split-second decisions, and ensure the speed of their connectivity matches the speed of the race car on the track.


Future-Proofed Workplaces

Global collaboration at scale.

The McLaren F1 Team operates at race pace year-round in 24 different locations across the globe. From the track to the garage to HQ and everywhere in between, ensuring the team is connected and operating as part of one unified ecosystem is of paramount importance.

Every Millisecond Matters with Cisco
In this video, Ed Green from McLaren Racing discusses how Cisco’s cutting-edge technology helps optimise performance, making every millisecond count on the track.

That’s why the team relies on Cisco to deliver hypernetwork connectivity and flexibility for team members wherever they work. From ensuring delivery of data transmissions in real time across all systems to enabling employees to collaborate effectively around the world, the McLaren F1 Team is always in pursuit of making incremental gains at the edge.


Digital Resilience

Visibility around every corner.

Digital resilience for the McLaren F1 Team means having maximum reliability and visibility across all facets of their race operation. In the extreme pressure environment of Formula 1, obstacles like latency and cyber attacks are not just inconveniences, they adversely impact the team’s pursuit of success.

Only Cisco provides the McLaren F1 Team with visibility and insights across their entire environment, combining the power of security, assurance, and observability, to ensure their entire operation is running smoothly from the edge to the cloud.
