During the racing season roughly March through November teams travel to 19 countries. Like all the teams, the Sauber F1 Team heavily relies upon data analytics to constantly innovate its car design and racing strategies.

During a typical race weekend, about 25 GB of telemetry gets collected in total. Every year, some 20 TB of data are collected, stored, and analyzed.

As data about our environment, travel, work, online activities and other behavior increases exponentially, visualization tools can help discern the forest from the trees of rows and columns, in order to understand trends and make decisions. Moving beyond the standard pie charts and bar graphs, creative visual artists, demographers, journalists and others are developing exciting new ways to marry data with visual representation.
