Race strategy has traditionally relied on human knowledge and basic simulation. In recent years, AI has started to play a larger role in this decision-making process. A model called Race Strategy Reinforcement Learning (RSRL) was evaluated using a simulation of the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix. In this test, RSRL was compared directly to a traditional Monte Carlo, more simplistic, 'set in stone' based approach. The result: RSRL selected more effective tyre strategies on average and produced more consistent outcomes across repeated simulations.

Norris's win at Australia showcased not just speed but McLaren's ability to manage tire grip better than rivals, particularly under challenging conditions.
