Since 2022, Lenovo technology has been at the heart of F1’s operations as an Official Partner. Through its on-site High-Performance Computing (HPC) solutions, servers and edge devices, Lenovo has been supporting Formula 1 in its delivery of its best-in-class broadcast product, bringing the drama and excitement of F1 to millions of fans around the world, with a truly global team that’s always-on.
Lenovo hardware – including laptops, workstations, desktop computers and monitors, as well as tablets and Motorola smartphones – provide F1 staff with high-quality equipment to create engaging, customised content for the sport’s ever expanding and passionate fanbase.
Additionally, Lenovo’s Asset Recovery Service supports F1’s wider sustainability strategy, alongside its efforts to reduce emissions and reach Net Zero by 2030. Lenovo’s Asset Recovery Service helps ensure that retired computing hardware is recycled in a socially and environmentally conscious manner. Since the beginning of the partnership, F1 has sustainably disposed 95% of obsolete hardware, which ultimately helps to reduce costs and mitigate security risks through reliable data destruction with enhanced security.
