The Tata Communications global network will play a key role in the team’s performance and our ability to react over the race weekends. Having Tata Communications on-site at the race track to work with the team will be a big asset in our demanding and fast-paced environment, and we look forward to developing a close working relationship with them as we strive to achieve our ambitions in Formula One."

Mehul Kapadia, Managing Director, F1 Business, Tata Communications, said, "Providing three times faster connectivity for MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS via Tata Communications’ global network means that the team has access to secure and agile trackside connectivity regardless of race location - it showcases our expertise and speed to lead when it comes to global connectivity, and reinforces our ongoing commitment to technology innovation within Formula One."

The improved trackside connectivity provided by Tata Communications will enable MERCEDES  to react more quickly to developments at the track and help to increase car performance.
