Hexagon and Oracle Red Bull Racing renew innovation partnership

Hexagon, a precision technologies company, and Oracle Red Bull Racing have renewed their long-established innovation partnership for multiple years. For 18 years, Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has been a trusted partner to Oracle Red Bull Racing. It delivers cutting-edge 3D laser scanning and digitalization solutions that have enabled the racing team to climb to – and remain at – the pinnacle of one of the most technologically advanced and complex sports.

Demonstrating further commitment to the team, Hexagon will expand its partnership through Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing – inspiring the next generation of STEM professionals with a focus on the engineering sector and bridging the gap between sim racing and F1.

Hexagon branding will feature on the lower side pod of the RB21, and further branding will feature across Oracle Red Bull Sim Racing liveries for the F1 Sim Racing World Championship and Porsche Esports Supercup, as well as at the Team’s home in the Red Bull Racing Erena.

The partnership is crucial ahead of the 2026 season as new sporting regulations come into effect that require all cars to be completely redesigned. This will welcome a new era of more ‘agile, competitive, safer, and more sustainable’ racing, as described by the sport’s governing body, the FIA. Hexagon’s advanced digitization technology will ensure Oracle Red Bull Racing continues to spearhead innovation – finding the limit of the sport’s new regulations to extract maximum performance.

With thousands of design changes each season, Hexagon has enabled the team to achieve the highest levels of speed and agility by seamlessly integrating quality inspection and digitalization into its engineering processes. The accuracy of these technologies ensures the extreme levels of precision and quality required at the first attempt. The speed at which it captures data also ensures Oracle Red Bull Racing maintains its competitive edge both on and off the track – providing the trusted insights needed for rapid design development.

“Hexagon has played a vital role in the success we’ve achieved over a long period as a valued partner to the team. Our technology partners are a crucial element for us and we’re very selective about who we work with. Hexagon will ensure our competitiveness for years to come,” said Christian Horner, Team Principal and CEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing.

“At Hexagon, we’re honored to continue our partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing, where our advanced measurement technologies play a key role in driving on-track success. Sharing a legacy of entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, and excellence, we’re excited to face the challenges of the upcoming season and embrace an even greener, more exhilarating era in 2026 and beyond,” said Josh Weiss, President of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division.

The Oracle Red Bull Racing team has reduced faults by 50% over the past two years. Measurements from Hexagon’s ultra-fast scanning technologies guarantee every component is manufactured to the required accuracy as the car is reassembled for each race to the quality required and within the FIA regulations, including the cap on team expenditure that leaves little room for mistakes.
