“F1 and Amazon Machine Learning Solutions Lab took a full year to build the algorithm that led to the fastest driver.”
Formula 1 has been working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to rank their racers. After a year of algorithmic heavy lifting, the results are out now. Ayrton Senna, the three-time world champion from Brazil came out on top, followed by the seven-time champion, Michael Schumacher with a time differential of +0.114 second. Whereas current World Champion Lewis Hamilton featured at 3rd position with a relative time of +0.275 seconds.
