The moment I realized I couldn’t argue with AI
I once delayed a project deadline because I was too busy arguing with an AI chatbot about logical consistency in a puzzle game. The result? I was wrong, the AI was right. It backed its claims with data and reasoning faster than any well-read friend I know.
And suddenly, when Red Bull announced they were using AI to appeal penalties in F1, I thought:
This is the future. Not something we’re waiting for—something happening right now.
How Red Bull is ahead: From racing cars to racing information
In F1, it’s not just the fastest car—it’s the fastest decision-making team.
When a driver is penalized, the team has only 30 minutes to decide whether to appeal and build a case.
Red Bull has now turned that process into an AI-powered workflow.
Oracle GenAI: Not just marketing hype
Red Bull has partnered with Oracle to leverage GenAI, including:
- Large Language Models (LLMs): To interpret regulations and handle text.
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): To fetch relevant data from internal databases.
In minutes, it can do what would normally take a human team hours:
- Identify past violations and precedents
- Pull relevant video footage
- Recommend logical arguments for appeal
All based on historical data—fast, structured, and consistent.
On the race track: AI as the ideal legal assistant
Let’s say Sergio Perez is penalized for allegedly blocking unfairly in Sector 2.
Within 3 minutes, GenAI can:
- Find onboard footage from the Alpine car behind
- Compare speed data from previous laps
- Pull a list of similar past rulings
- Draft an appeal document for the FIA
All a human needs to do is review, add expert insights, and hit send.
AI in F1: The revolution has already begun
People worry about AI replacing humans. But in truth, AI is enhancing human decision-making—making it faster and more logical.
In sports, that’s vital. A slow decision means losing a podium. A bad one means losing an entire season.
Near future: Every team with their own AI?
Red Bull is blazing the trail. But do you think Mercedes will just sit still? Or Ferrari won’t have a plan B?
Just like DRS, 2-second pit stops, and hybrid engines sparked intense innovation battles—AI is the next battleground.
And the team leading the way? They’ll be starting from P1 on the grid.
Bottom line: When AI stops being a “trend” and starts being a competitive advantage
Red Bull’s AI-powered appeal is more than a motorsport story.
It’s a lesson in applying technology at the right time and place.
AI won’t replace craftsmanship—but it amplifies human expertise.
And in a sport where half a second can cost everything, there’s no room for hesitation.

Would you argue with an AI if it had 30 minutes and access to a billion data points?
