How Lenovo is using Formula 1 to test the future of AI
Lenovo is charting its own course towards a future defined by artificial intelligence and sustainability-- and the tech giant has chosen Formula 1 racetrack as its innovation ground. The company's collaboration with Formula 1 is evolving into a critical technology partnership, underpinning the sport's increasingly complex data and AI demands. Each race weekend involves the transfer of up to 500 terabytes of data between the racetrack and F1's UK-based Media and Technology Centre. This setup then supports the broadcasting channels, streaming platforms such as F1TV and Fancode live broadcasting, team decision-making, and technical operations. On-site hardware, including AI-ready ThinkStation workstations and AIPCs, are tested under extreme racing conditions to ensure performance in high-vibration, dusty, and temperature-variable environments. These systems are designed to support AI applications ranging from local inferencing to secure voice identification, enabling faster decision-making and reduced reliance on cloud-based computing. While the partnership reflects Lenovo's ambition to lead in hybrid AI infrastructure , it also highlights Formula 1's drive to modernise and decarbonise its operations ahead of its net-zero 2030 target. So, is Lenovo building its own AI stack? Not in the way some Big Tech giants are—but Lenovo is carving a unique space through its Hybrid AI Advantage, an end-to-end ecosystem that spans from hardware to inference-layer management. 'We ourselves are not investing in developing our LLM, but then we will be partnering with pretty much all the major LLM Developers and then we will have our own AI libraries which are more use cases, agent management platform, and services wrapper. So yes, to a certain extent we own our own solution, Sumir Bhatia, President of Lenovo's Asia Pacific Infrastructure Solutions Group, told ETAuto in an exclusive conversation. This strategy enables Lenovo to offer modular, scalable solutions for businesses of all sizes. Enterprises can select from a library of models and solutions tailored to industry-specific use cases—like security operations, IT operations, or customer service—without needing to build or train models from scratch. 'Leveraging partners' infrastructure and using small language modules brings IT ops, security ops software together, which makes integration a lot easier,' added Bhatia. Energy Efficiency at the Core As AI models become increasingly complex, the demand for computational power—and consequently, energy consumption—has surged. Recognising this challenge, Lenovo has invested in innovative solutions to enhance energy efficiency in its AI infrastructure. To align with F1's broader goals around operational efficiency and sustainability, Lenovo is considering deploying its Neptune liquid-cooling technology--which can reduce data centre power consumption by up to 40 per cent--at F1's UK hub. The Neptune liquid cooling system , which utilises warm water to cool servers, eliminates the need for traditional chilled water systems. This approach not only reduces energy consumption but also allows for the repurposing of excess heat to warm buildings in colder climates, contributing to overall sustainability efforts. Bhatia emphasised the significance of energy efficiency, stating, "You can save up to 40 per cent power by leveraging Neptune. It can bring up to almost 100 per cent efficiency in removing heat." Clearly, Lenovo's AI strategy reflects a holistic approach that balances technological innovation with real-world applicability and sustainability. By investing in energy-efficient infrastructure, developing practical AI use cases, and forging global partnerships, the company is positioning itself as a key player in the evolving landscape of AI infrastructure

The visitors, under the new leadership of Litton Das, rode on a maiden T20I hundred from Parvez Hossain Emon to post 191/7 in 20 overs. In reply, the UAE crumbled under pressure as Hasan Mahmud (3/33), Mustafizur Rahman (2/17) and Tanzim Hasan Sakib (2/22) starred with the ball for Bangladesh. However, Bangladesh won't be getting the services of Mustafizur, who had already flown to India to participate in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Mustafizur is representing Delhi Capitals and had already played against Gujarat Titans on Sunday night. Rishad Hossain is likely to replace Mustafizur in the playing XI. The two-match series against UAE is also seen as a preparation for Bangladesh ahead of their white-ball series against Pakistan.

Women's ODI Tri-Series: India aim to put best foot forward in high-stakes final against Sri Lanka
Colombo: India will be determined to put their best foot forward in all departments when they meet host Sri Lanka in the Women's ODI Tri-Series final, to be held at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. For Sunday's final, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has announced fans will be able to watch the final in the stadium for free. It was against Sri Lanka in the league stage that India suffered their lone defeat of the tri-series and Sunday's clash gives them a chance to turn the tables on the Chamari Athapaththu-led side, as well as stand up to the pressure of playing a final – something which also aids them in their preparation for this year's ODI World Cup. From an Indian batting perspective, Jemimah Rodrigues has been their best batter with 201 runs at an average of 67 – including a fantastic 123 against South Africa after coming out to bat at number five. Deepti Sharma, Pratika Rawal and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana have been other batting contributors, but it would be great for India if skipper Harmanpreet Kaur converts a start into a big score. In terms of bowling, off-spin all-rounder Sneh Rana has been on a stellar run on return to international cricket – picking 11 wickets at an average of 15.63, including a five-wicket haul against South Africa. But to win a high-stakes final, India would need a collective bowling effort to upstage Sri Lanka's batters. On the other hand, Sri Lanka have shown that they are no pushovers, especially after beating India in the group stage. Apart from skipper Chamari, Harshitha Samawickrama shapes up as a pivotal batting figure – making a match-winning 53 in the tri-series league stage win over India and hitting a fine 69 not out against the same opposition to win the Women's T20 Asia Cup final in Dambulla last year. With the ball, young spinner Dewmi Vihanga has been impressive for Sri Lanka – taking nine wickets at an average of 15.33. How she and Malki Madara shape up to counter the challenge from the formidable Indian batters will make for a fascinating match-up in the grand finale of the tri-series. When: Sunday, May 11 at 10am IST Where: R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium Where to watch: Live telecast on Fancode (TV and digital) Squads India: Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh(w), Amanjot Kaur, Shree Charani, Sneh Rana, Shuchi Upadhyay, Kranti Goud, Yastika Bhatia, Tejal Hasabnis, and Arundhati Reddy Sri Lanka: Hasini Perera, Vishmi Gunaratne, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Chamari Athapaththu(c), Nilakshi de Silva, Manudi Nanayakkara, Anushka Sanjeewani(w), Dewmi Vihanga, Sugandika Kumari, Malki Madara, Inoshi Priyadharshani, Inoka Ranaweera, Hansima Karunaratne, Achini Kulasuriya, Kavisha Dilhari, Rashmika Sewwandi, and Piumi Badalge
