- IBM partnered with Scuderia Ferrari HP to overhaul the team's fan app using its AI technology.
- Ferrari hired Stefano Pallard as head of fan development to personalize the fan experience and make each supporter feel known.
- The new Ferrari fan app now offers AI‑generated race summaries, games, predictions, behind‑the‑scenes stories, an AI companion, and Italian language support.
- Kameryn Stanhouse, IBM’s VP of Sports and Entertainment Partnerships, said the AI tools help fans see how AI serves them in sports storytelling.
- Ferrari is one of only a few F1 teams, alongside McLaren and Williams, that maintains a standalone fan app rather than relying solely on social media platforms.
Why it matters: Ferrari fans gain six new AI‑driven app features, which could boost engagement and open fresh revenue streams for Ferrari and IBM, turning fan interaction into a monetizable digital experience.
