I look at Formula 1 and I often wonder what the various sponsors who have their names on the cars in the competition will do. I mean, we know what Oracle and Tag Heuer do, but Rebellion? Did they accelerate? Tezos? Cognizant? Sentinel One? There are many that I have not heard or know details about.
So I investigated the issue and made a list. I don't claim to be complete, I also took the big names from each car, as I saw them in the photos, and I listed the companies that are not well known here.
And, surprisingly, it's full of Formula 1 crypto, blockchain and smart contract platforms, plus big data analytics and complicated IT. There are also luxury watches out there, but the bulk is on technology.
