FIA has appointed Amazon Web Services as its official partner for artificial intelligence, cloud computing, machine learning and cloud infrastructure.

The governing body says the agreement will extend AWS technology across technical regulation work, digital licensing and its wider internal systems. The FIA already runs aerodynamic simulations for future Formula 1 technical regulations on AWS high-performance computing infrastructure, allowing engineering teams to model airflow without manufacturing physical parts for every test.

AWS will also provide AI tools to the FIA’s technical and engineering functions. The official announcement says those tools are intended to support regulation development across safety, performance and sustainability, but it does not identify the models, datasets, validation process or decisions that will remain under direct human control. MRI has therefore not inferred a regulatory outcome or performance benefit.

The partnership builds on a digital licensing platform introduced by the two organisations in 2025. The FIA says the service is expanding to more national sporting authorities with multilingual support, FIA University integration and licence-renewal functions. Event-management capabilities for volunteers and officials are planned, although the release does not set a delivery timetable.

More FIA business applications and hosted services are also due to move to AWS as part of the federation’s modernisation programme. AWS will additionally become an official partner of the FIA Awards and the FIA Sustainable Innovation Series.

The announcement does not disclose contract length, value, exclusivity, procurement terms, data-residency arrangements or the allocation of intellectual-property rights. MRI has treated it as a substantive technical-infrastructure partnership because its stated scope covers regulation development, licensing and enterprise systems rather than a single marketing activation.
