Tipco Software announced on the 3rd that it will continue its partnership with Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team.
The Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, which won its eighth title at the FIA Formula One World Constructor Champions hosted by the Federation Internationale de Automobile Association (FIA), expanded the use of the “Tipco Spotfire” solution in race simulations that affect the latest vehicle settings and environmental configuration during the last season.
In order to comply with the FIA’s budget cap regulations, the ‘Tipco Cost Visualization Tool’ was used for detailed cost value analysis conducted throughout engineering and financial data. These two solutions play a key role in the design, development and engineering of the latest Mercedes-AMGF1 W13 EQ performance vehicles.

The two companies have established a continuous partnership for innovation both inside and outside the stadium to help Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team identify factors affecting vehicle performance and update vehicle environment composition during the actual F1 match.
The digital twin-based simulation played a decisive role in the victory of the F1 team in new and changed circuits. Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team analyzed simulations using tipco spotfires and evaluated the impact of tunable environmental composition parameters such as suspensions, front and rear wings, and aerodynamics on vehicle performance.
In addition, millions of simulations were performed on vehicles in a digital twin environment using a combination of adjustable parameters, and based on the results, the vehicle’s environment setting was configured during the actual F1 match. This advanced vehicle setting and environmental composition served as the most important factor in determining vehicle performance, especially in the final races in the Americas and the Middle East, where competition for the championship is fierce.
Digital twin technology and race simulations used by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team played a very important role in optimizing vehicle performance and obtaining winning points in a fiercely competitive environment until the end of the season, Michael O’Connell, new rules, and numerous race schedules.
