PRECISION technologies outfit Hexagon has unveiled a multi-year renewal of its long-established innovation partnership with one of the most successful Formula 1 teams in history – the Oracle Red Bull Racing.
For 18 years, Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has been a trusted partner to Oracle Red Bull Racing.
It delivers cutting-edge 3D laser scanning and digitalisation solutions that have enabled the racing team to climb to and remain at the pinnacle of the most technologically advanced and complex sport.
This renewed partnership will see a history of shared innovation, business support and success continue between both companies following Max Verstappen’s fourth successive World Drivers Championship title in 2024.
Demonstrating further commitment to the team, Hexagon will also expand its partnership through Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing by inspiring the next generation of STEM professionals with a focus on the engineering sector and bridging the gap between sim racing and F1.
Hexagon branding will feature on the lower sidepod of the RB21, signifying its long-standing contribution to the operation of the car.
Further branding will feature across Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing liveries for the F1 Sim Racing World Championship and Porsche Esports Supercup as well as at the Team’s home in the Red Bull Racing Erena.
The partnership is crucial ahead of the 2026 season as new sporting regulations come into effect that require all cars to be completely re-designed.
This will welcome a new era of more “agile, competitive, safer and more sustainable” racing as described by the sport’s governing body, the FIA.
In this regard, Hexagon’s advanced digitisation technology will ensure Oracle Red Bull Racing continue to spearhead innovation while finding the limit of the sport’s new regulations to extract maximum performance.
With eight of the 10 teams, including Oracle Red Bull Racing, making driver changes in the off season, 2025 promises to be a fiercely competitive season decided by the smallest of margins.
“At Hexagon, we’re honoured to continue our partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing where our advanced measurement technologies play a key role in driving on-track success,” commented Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division president Josh Weiss.
“Sharing a legacy of entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and excellence, we’re excited to face the challenges of the upcoming season and embrace an even greener, more exhilarating era in 2026 and beyond.”
The Oracle Red Bull Racing team has reduced faults by 50% over the past two years.
Measurements from Hexagon’s ultra-fast scanning technologies guarantee every component is manufactured to the required accuracy as the car is reassembled for each race to the quality required and within the FIA regulations, including the cap on team expenditure that leaves little room for mistakes. – March 12, 2025
