In terms of freight, an entire team’s freight is about 14 tonnes - of which the IT kit makes up roughly 10% of that weight.
As part of their digital transformation and F1's goal to be net-zero carbon by 2030, Aston Martin Aramco transitioned from using around 40 physical computers, each running individual services and requiring more space, cooling, travel logistics, and energy, to a 90% virtual system.
Whilst the cars are on track, 118 megabytes of data per second are sent back to the campus in 0.01 seconds* to the UK, and back at the Aston Martin Racing Technology Campus (AMRTC), which is the new state-of-the-art facility for Aston Martin Aramco in Silverstone. The team has its own version of mission control with 30 seats for data analytics and strategy to help the trackside team. There are an additional 10 seats for aerodynamicists, and they treat this as their “hub of data and engineering”.

118MB per second is quite a decent uplink at those speeds, I wonder how they manage that with such consistency.
The circuits must have some beefy connections. That's just shy of 1 Gbps (125MBps), so with 10 teams they need a roughly 10 Gbps upload speed.
Our resident F1 fan, @JCPhoenix, might find this article especially interesting, I suspect. ;)
Thanks! I'll give this a read today!
