Scuderia Ferrari HP partners with WHOOP to extend its data-driven performance model beyond the car, using real-time health, sleep, and recovery insights to optimize the human side of Formula 1 competition.
For decades, Scuderia Ferrari HP has obsessed over perfecting every component of performance — aerodynamics, power units, materials, and race strategy measured down to the millisecond. Now, Ferrari is applying that same rigor to its most complex system yet: the human body.
Starting with the 2026 Formula 1 season, Ferrari has named WHOOP as its Official Health and Fitness Wearable Partner, embedding continuous health and recovery data directly into the team’s performance infrastructure.
This isn’t a sponsorship play. It’s an expansion of Ferrari’s operating system.
Formula 1 is often described as a battle of engineering. But behind every lap time, pit stop, and strategic call is a human operating under extreme pressure, global travel demands, and relentless cognitive load.
With WHOOP, Ferrari extends its data-first philosophy beyond the car and into the drivers, pit crew, engineers, and performance staff.
WHOOP devices will be worn across the team to monitor:
Ferrari’s medical team will work directly with WHOOP’s Performance Science group to interpret this data and translate it into actionable insights — helping the team arrive at race weekends sharper, more resilient, and better recovered.
As Ferrari’s Chief Racing Revenue Officer Lorenzo Giorgetti put it, the partnership allows Ferrari to apply its high-performance engineering mindset to “aspects more related to the human factor.”
In a sport where margins are razor-thin, fatigue isn’t just personal — it’s competitive.
Jet lag, disrupted sleep cycles, mental stress, and cumulative training load can quietly erode decision-making and reaction time long before it shows up on a stopwatch. Ferrari’s move signals a broader realization across elite sport: performance optimization now starts with recovery and readiness, not just output.
WHOOP’s continuous data model fits naturally into Ferrari’s long-standing, data-driven culture — turning invisible variables like sleep debt and nervous system strain into measurable performance inputs.
For years, WHOOP founder and CEO Will Ahmed has said the ambition was to build “the Ferrari of health wearables.” This partnership makes that vision tangible.
Ferrari doesn’t adopt technology lightly. Its selection of WHOOP is a clear signal that health, recovery, and readiness are no longer peripheral — they’re core performance systems.
As Ahmed noted, this collaboration goes far beyond logo placement. WHOOP’s Performance Science team will work directly with Ferrari’s medical staff to push the boundaries of what’s possible in one of the most demanding environments in sport.
Ferrari’s move reflects a larger shift happening across elite performance:
As teams look for their next competitive edge, the answer increasingly isn’t more training — it’s better recovery, smarter load management, and deeper physiological insight.
Ferrari already perfected the car.
Now, it’s tuning the human engine.
