Abstract

This review presents the application of game theory to optimize the energy management in Formula 1. The novel two-agent setting aims to study the physical interactions impacting the energy management, by modeling the wake effect. We discuss the motivation behind the development of a tailored solution approach, as well as the proposed methodology. The robust tool delivers and quantifies alternative energy management strategies and strategic decisions, such as overtakes.
