Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team boosts remote simulator control
TeamViewer Tensor is being utilised by the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team to support the management of its driver-in-loop simulator operations, aiding the team in enhancing its car setups remotely and securely. The driver-in-loop simulator plays a crucial role for the team's racing preparations, enabling drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli to test various car configurations for each circuit. Notably, Antonelli, as a rookie, relies heavily on the simulator to acclimatise to new tracks. The simulator is also used intensively by the team's reserve and simulator drivers, especially throughout race weekends, for rapid problem-solving in cooperation with engineers and trackside staff. With team members and engineers often travelling across different time zones and continents, TeamViewer Tensor allows key personnel to access and manage simulator devices remotely, even when away from the team's base in Brackley, England. This capability enhances operational flexibility and maximises the simulator's use. Remote access efficiencies Christian Damm, Simulator Development Engineer for the team, highlighted the importance of security and reliability in these processes. Not only are the simulators a sensitive area, they're also very secretive. We need to be able to trust that the data security is in place. With TeamViewer, we can have that peace of mind. The work in the simulator has an impact on the track so being able to push boundaries and enhance performance is a win for my team. Damm also explained that TeamViewer Tensor's dynamic remoting functionality permits several users to connect to one machine, allowing the collaborative resolution of technical problems. He added that he is able to replicate his usual multi-screen desk setup remotely via his laptop, maintaining workflow no matter where he is located. The scalability of TeamViewer Tensor enables the straightforward addition or removal of users and devices, which Damm noted helps reduce the time associated with managing access and securing new resources. He also commented on the improvement in display resolution compared to previous remote management tools the team had deployed. According to Damm, Tensor offers a much higher bit rate and customisable colour settings, avoiding issues with screen stuttering or freezing and thereby ensuring simulator sessions are not interrupted by technical difficulties. Technical decisions and resource allocation In Formula 1, access to timely and relevant data can have a direct influence on performance during a race weekend. Steven Riley, Head of IT Operation and Service Management at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, explained the broader context of deploying TeamViewer Tensor throughout the team's digital operations. On the track, every second counts - so we need to ensure our technology implementations can keep up to ensure drivers and team members can access all the data they need in real time to make those split-second decisions to get us over the finish line. We use TeamViewer across our digital workplaces, whether the office, the factory or at track, so when Christian approached us about new technology for the simulation, Tensor was the obvious choice. Due to the cost cap all our technology deployments have to deliver value. It is always a balancing act where technology spend will make more of an impact than putting the money elsewhere in the team. Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team deploys TeamViewer technology across its offices, factory, and at-track environments, ensuring all team members and engineers are able to make use of synchronised, secure digital workflows at any location. Riley noted that with the cost cap limiting technology investment in Formula 1, each deployment must be justified based on its potential value to the team's performance. TeamViewer Tensor's integration allows simulator teams to react to real-time problems, update car configurations, and contribute to on-track decisions without the requirement for engineers to be present at the main factory site. This, according to the team's technical staff, supports a continuous flow of data and operational feedback essential to the racing programme.

George Russell hopes Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri ‘keep throwing away points'
George Russell said he hopes Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will continue to throw away points to propel him into this season's world championship fight. Russell won from pole position at the Canadian Grand Prix to claim his first triumph of the year and just the fourth of his career. The British driver has been one of the grid's standout performers this season, and his win in Montreal takes him to 62 points behind championship leader Piastri. Epic. Just epic. — Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team (@MercedesAMGF1) June 15, 2025 Russell is 40 points behind Norris after he failed to score following a collision with McLaren team-mate Piastri. Runner-up Max Verstappen is 43 points off the championship pace. 'I don't know how both Max and I are so close to those two (Norris and Piastri) in the championship because McLaren clearly have the dominant car,' said Russell. 'I cannot imagine they will keep throwing away points in the manner that they are doing but of course we hope that continues to be the case. 'I don't foresee us getting in the championship fight through pure pace as Lando did last year. We will only be there if things like today continue to happen.' As it stands, Russell is out of contract at the end of the season with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff having previously stated he has explored Verstappen's availability. But when asked if his performance here will help him get his next deal with Mercedes over the line, Russell, 27, continued: 'It doesn't hurt at all. 'I am not concerned about next year. I know I am going to be on the grid. I feel I am driving better than ever. I have got more in the tank and I am ready to fight for a world championship. 'I am not talking with anybody else, and any teams that have shown interest I have been quite open to them to say to them that my intention is to stay with Mercedes. 'That has always been clear. I am loyal to Mercedes. They gave me this chance to get into Formula One. And there hasn't been any hard feelings with any of the talks going round, especially around Max because why wouldn't teams be interested in Max? 'If every driver did not have a contract for next year, Max would be the number one of every single team and that is understandable. 'But here are two seats for every race team and I knew if I would continue to perform as I am doing I would not be under threat. I am in a good place and there is in no rush to do contract negotiations.'
