How Atlassian billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes plans to shake up the F1 world

What's his poster name?

a promotor of own media?

[The Passenger]

"Under the new rules, F1 cars will be made lighter and more agile, and they will be running on hybrid engines -half engine and half electric. The engine will also run entirely on sustainable fuels."

I'm already. aware (as an Australian) that Cannon-Brookes/Atlassian is big on sustainability, but I don't think they had anything to do with F1's sustainability strategy like the article misreads as.

Also:


"“We are trying to build a car that has roughly 20,000 components that all come together in a space of two weeks; I was honest and open about it a year or two ago when I explained we were using Excel spreadsheets to try and track tens of thousands of parts, I found an Excel spreadsheet with 100,000 lines it,” he said."

Someone explain to me how Atlassian's software is going to be better. I find this potentially interesting.

They aren’t the only software that does that.  It’s the equivalent of seeing a guy starting a fire by striking rocks together and giving him a blowtorch.  Except that everyone else has had blowtorches for a while and your guy is one of the only ones using rocks.  Cost to implement alone is worth several mil for the deal.  Should be a big productivity bump once they get it going and get trained.

As someone who spent today replacing spreadsheets with sensible databases and tools, I feel this

.....than a barge. 

They will still be significantly heavier and less agile than any F1 car pre 2022.

At first I thought it was about the forum, it used to be called Atlas.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but I would expect a 100,000 line Excel spreadsheet would have some issues with performance and keeping record of changes.

I am unable to, however certain that we have multiple IT people in my company who could pour 100.000 lines of excel into a more robust database fairly easily, and fairly swiftly. Much as I admire excel as an office tool, there are off the shelf products which can do a better job for a F1 team.

I'll bet Atlassian makes one or two!

I have a big red square with Autosport written in.

[PayasYouRace]

There’s the “Change Theme” button in the bottom left of the screen. We have red Autosport or orange Atlas themes, plus mobile too.

For McLaren fan it's a huge upgrade. Never noticed this button in 14 years.

As far as Autosport - the site - have fallen, I'm also happy to change!

Do they want to make F1 slower, bloated and overly complicated?

Can't stand JIRA.
