These AI-powered features aim to bring fans even closer to all the Scuderia Ferrari HP action from race weekend and include:

• AI-generated race summaries: Post-race recaps of the Scuderia Ferrari HP team’s performance that are available within hours of a race’s conclusion. Using LLMs on watsonx, the team’s complex race data is transformed into compelling narratives that include reflections from the Scuderia Ferrari HP drivers and team principal.
  
  
• Post-race insights and data visualizations: Dynamic visuals, created from technologies on watsonx, that allow fans to interact with and see post-race driver and car data including telemetry, weather, track conditions, session results, car and tire strategies.
  
  
• Historical driver and team insights: Analysis that provides fans with comparisons of key 2025 race moments to past Scuderia Ferrari HP race milestones including car, driver and track moments. These insights are generated by LLMs on watsonx, including IBM Granite, and are embedded within the AI-generated race summaries and other Scuderia Ferrari HP content.
