"Oracle Red Bull Racing highly values AT&T’s contribution to our team and we consider their partnership and expertise in connectivity as mission-critical to our operation at the racetrack," Horner said.

"The race begins long before the lights flash on the track, and AT&T is a crucial partner in ensuring we're ready to win from day one.

"AT&T’s partnership allows us to transport ever increasing amounts of data for the comprehensive analyses that lead to more precise decisions in the development of our cars before, during, and after each race."
