How Formula 1 uses CRM and AI to connect with millions of fans
Formula 1 has evolved from a primarily European competition to a global community with over 800 million fans. Behind this growth is a data-driven strategy powered by automation and personalization — with Salesforce as the key technology partner.
The value lies not in scale alone, but in how each fan relationship is managed in real time, at a global level.
Unified CRM, automated journeys, predictive AI
Salesforce integration allows F1 to operate from a single data source, enabling:
- Unified user profiles across F1 TV, fantasy leagues, social platforms, and merchandising.
- Segmented campaigns driven by automation and AI.
- Real-time personalization during live events, anticipating fan needs.
Beyond efficiency: building emotional connection
AI doesn't just streamline operations — it enhances engagement. It acts before the user asks, offering relevant suggestions and responses proactively.
This anticipatory model is highly transferable to other industries like retail, education, media, and finance — where data and relationships drive competitive edge.
