F1 will make use of Salesforce Customer 360 to gain a "richer understanding" of its fans and offer deeper engagement with new broadcast graphics, digital content and more.

“Salesforce is excited to join the fast-paced world of Formula 1, partnering with them to connect with their global fanbase in a whole new way," added executive vice president, global brand marketing for Salesforce, Colin Fleming.
