How to Get a Job in Formula 1

Показать описание

How do you get a job in Formula 1? How do you get a motorsport job? They’re questions I’m asked all the time.

So, over the last few months, I’ve interviewed over 50 professionals from the motorsport industry to understand how to start or advance your career in this wonderful industry.

So this video is going to cover everything you need to know to give yourself the best opportunity of finding that dream job - including, how to find the best role for you, how to break your way into the industry (even if you have no contacts) and the inside track on how to ace applications and interviews - from the interviewers themselves.

And I also spoke to Kimi Raikkonen's race engineer - so watch to the end if you want to know how he managed to engineer for one F1’s best drivers.

I can't believe they somehow put ME on the thumbnail.

I recently finished a degree in motorsport engineering. What really worked for me to get experience was going to a track on a Thursday (when they’re preparing so they’re not busy) with paper copies of my CV and just asking for the team manager, managed to secure some work for F4 and GT4 teams this way. It can be daunting at first going up to them but once you get your first rejection it is so easy.

I found that most team managers are really helpful. Calling or emailing never works as they say they get too many to check. Also just be prepared for 14 hour days regularly if you’re working trackside.

Being a nepo baby helps the most it seems.

You'd have to be pretty desperate to have that wide a definition of "in motorsport". "What's your job?" - "Oh, I'm in motorsport" - "Really, what do you do?" - "I clean the toilets at Red Bull Racing"

Just be prepared to have no time off during the season and have workdays 16h or more. Its not glamorous at all if you work at the race track. Its tough and tiring and a strain on any relationship.

I couple of years ago I managed to land a job in an F2 team. I had been working in a high school karting team, went to do aerospace engineering and got into an university racing team. The driver of that team worked at this F2 team and I happened to know that this team was expanding. So I went to him, asked if he had a job for me, and two weeks later I had an interview. I was extremely lucky but at the same time every step I have taken along the road taken with becoming a race engineer in mind. I'm planning on joining the team again after university and work my way up from F4 to F1.

I went to school for software engineering and have a degree but now recently joined the USAF (United States Air Force) for aerodynamics engineering. Hope to transfer my skills to F1 one day bc that would be awesome. Definitely a dream job of mine

If you’re a student, Formula Student. Then be completely committed and be prepared to build all the experience you can. My daughter decided to be a press officer when she was 11 and saw Britta working with Seb V. She is now a PO for an F1 driver and worked with Seb on her way there.

Be prepared to be overworked and underpaid too

As a guy lives and breathes motorsports, writing articles and technical analyses about F1, and having just declined a motorsports electronics program in the UK due to certain financial reasons, I just hope this decision doesn't bite me back afterwards, and I'm able to converge my career into motorsports.

Is Julien the same RE who's famous for Kimi's "Stay out, stay out..."?

what amazing advice. i think driving might be out the window for me, as i am 15 years old, but this video has given me more confidence that i can enjoy some other job in racing like my dad who did marketing and sponsor managing for ferrari and manager of public relations for mercedes. so maybe a job like that could still be in reach hopefully 🙏

I studied Automotive Engineering it's really quiet hard considering that you have to learn everything to do with engine design

I work in aerospace composite assembly, being forced into a motorsport schedule sounds like a nightmare.
