Finding the perfect moment: How Formula 1® uses AWS AI to search archives in seconds
F1 worked with AWS to migrate petabytes of footage from ageing tape robots, in multiple formats and proxy files, into Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) alongside the live footage from every new race. That gave the sport one durable home for its heritage: the F1 Video Archive. In April 2026, F1 upgraded the archive with a new Media Archive Discovery system. Working with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the team added Amazon Bedrock in a deliberately narrow role: a layer that reads a request in plain language, works out what it means, looks up any facts it depends on, and turns it into a precise search the archive can retrieve.
