Earlier this year , Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team and NetApp , an intelligent data infrastructure company , renewed their ongoing partnership ahead of the 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship to optimise the AMF1 Team ’ s application performance and cost – on and off the track .

NetApp ’ s technology supports the AMF1 team in harnessing its intelligent infrastructure solutions to optimise its data , ensuring it ’ s stored securely , cost effectively and accessibly for analysis to drive performance on and off track .
We spoke to Clare Lansley , CIO at Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team , about the partnership with NetApp .
What does your role look like dayto-day and what are some of your key priorities ?
In F1 , days are dynamic . A standard day doesn ’ t really exist , as my focus evolves depending on latest challenges or new priorities . I generally make a point of checking in with the team to see whether any support is required , and I put a lot of emphasis on communication .
Situations develop quickly and it ’ s imperative team members are up to speed with the latest information . I keep a close eye on delivery against our technical roadmap – are we tracking against a plan for our business-as-usual tasks as well as our transformation initiatives ? You can ’ t differentiate services and solutions without the fundamentals being in place .
