“We are delighted to be working closely with the Alfa Romeo F1 team to expand our partnership. Human performance is tested to the maximum in F1, which is why the research we are conducting with team ORLEN is so important.

MindDrive’s brain technology platform is part of the company’s R&D innovation division— MindMaze Labs. The collaboration will include holistic research assessing both car and driver. The brain technology platform will specifically monitor human performance by capturing brain data, both on and off the racetrack. MindMaze’s F1 partnership represents a novel new field of study that underscores the company’s objective to transform brain health by decoding the brain and harnessing its ability to accelerate recovery from injury, learn, and adapt.
Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal of Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN, added, “Innovation is at the heart of everything we do in Formula One, so I’m proud to welcome MindMaze as a neurotechnology pioneer to our partner family. It is a company that has shown its research has real-world benefits, and I’m looking forward to combining our deep technical competencies to see what insights we can unlock together.”
MindMaze recently showcased the brain technology and its motorsport research at the Miami Grand Prix, where MindMaze was a founding partner. As part of the agreement, MindMaze will have brand sponsorship on the safety helmets of Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN drivers Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu for the remainder of the 2022 F1 season.
MindMaze’s F1 programme is part of its growing portfolio of research in motorsport. Currently, it has a MindDrive-focused research project underway in the US with the Andretti Autosport Indycar team and its brain health ambassador, Romain Grosjean.
