How does Formula 1 relate to IoT? More than you might think. 🏎‍🟀📡 During every lap, hundreds of sensors collect data on everything from tyre conditions and speed to engine performance and energy consumption. This constant flow of information lets teams monitor performance, analyse changes, and make data-driven decisions in real time. In Formula 1, every millisecond matters — and behind those milliseconds is data. 📊 #Azercosmos #F1
