Industry Insights Introducing r/F1Technical's Industry Insights

r/F1Technical's "Industry Insights" series will be back this off-season, with a whole new range of F1 personnel, past and present, providing a closer look on what it takes to be part of a team competing in the highest echelons of the motor racing world.

What is Industry Insights?

It all started last year, when we were approached by a few members of this subreddit, who wanted to share their experience of working in a Formula 1 team. What was meant to be a small post, turned into a huge AMA-type event, with lots of engagement from the community.

Basically, participants are encouraged to talk a bit of how they got into the sport, and what their job entails, to give us armchair-experts a bit of actual knowledge of the inner workings of the sport. It also has elements of an AMA, as we encourage the community to leave their questions in the comments section, which will hopefully be answered by our guests.

Do I have to work in F1 to be a guest?

Experience, either past or present, in an F1 team is preferred, as F1 is the main focus of this sub. However, if you do not have experience in an F1 team, but feel that your career is somehow relevant to the topic of this series, please do not hesitate to reach out to the mod team.

What's in it for you?

You'll get a shiny new flair, which will let everyone know you are a verified expert. (You can decline of course)

You will be able to pass your wisdom down to those who want to pursue a career and really help them make the right choices to land a job in F1.

Most importantly, you'll have a lot of fun.
