Tata expands Formula 1 presence with Williams tie-up

Tata Communications expanded its presence in Formula 1 by becoming a digital partner of Williams Racing. The Indian company, which provides telecommunications solutions and services, is also working closely with Formula 1 since 2012 and its association with reigning champions Mercedes dates back to 2013.

"The Williams team will use Tata Communications' digital infrastructure to enable real-time data transfer between the pit-lane garage at each Grand Prix and the team's race factory in the UK," said Tata Communications in a statement.

"This means that even if Williams engineers are thousands of miles apart like during the Melbourne Grand Prix, they're able to share data and insights, and collaborate on race strategy as if they were in the same place," it added.
