Our solution,

Van Amersfoort Racing is a Dutch racing team competing in the categories that lead to Formula 1. Since 1975, the team has helped young drivers build successful careers in motorsport. And it has a track record: our very own Max Verstappen developed his skills under the guidance of Frits van Amersfoort. Finding drivers with that kind of talent is a challenge. Just as on the track, you want to stay one step ahead of the competition. That is why we are developing a smart tool together that makes it easy for Van Amersfoort Racing to track and compare young drivers. Can our algorithm find the ‘new Max Verstappen’? 

Our connection with Data Science Lab comes from Claudia, who did an internship at Van Amersfoort Racing several years ago. The results of her machine learning project left everyone impressed. When the time came to follow up on this idea we knew who to contact! We are very happy with our collaboration and confident this will be a very powerful tool in our search for talented young drivers.
