They're the eyes and ears poring over streams of data from the AMR21, radio traffic, intercom traffic and TV feeds, helping to inform quickfire decisions on the pit wall.
During the United States Grand Prix, team members from across departments, including strategy and performance, all played a role in coordinating Sebastian's recovery drive from 18th to 10th, working with as much as 250GB of data across the event.
