This article describes how Formula 1 used AWS services to enable remote operations for the Abu Dhabi Young Driver Test, eliminating the need for on-site infrastructure.

• Amazon WorkSpaces provided virtual desktop infrastructure for trackside timing operators with GPU-based rendering
• Amazon EC2 instances delivered scalable compute for custom backend workloads and content delivery
• AWS Direct Connect established low-latency, dedicated connectivity between track and UK media center
• AWS Transit Gateway with Multicast enabled required multicast traffic for video and data distribution
• Infrastructure as Code via Terraform allows repeatable, on-demand deployment for future events
• Solution achieved sustainability goals by eliminating trackside generators, staff, and freight requirements
• Two 8-hour test days ran successfully entirely from AWS cloud infrastructure

Formula 1 successfully demonstrated fully remote production operations using AWS, reducing costs and environmental impact while maintaining real-time performance requirements.
