James showed an interest in cars at an early age and was disassembling the toys his parents gave him whenever he could. He had a dream of becoming a Formula 1 engineer however, he was not academically inclined and was rejected from college when he did not have GCSE's strong enough to start his A-levels, leaving his dream in tatters.
Discover how he became a formula 1 engineer.

there's no such thing as software engineer in F1, you need to decide a specific area you want to pursue. But for us Indians it's very difficult. Not impossible. As it's difficult for non-europeans to even pass the interview phase while applying. I watched some interviews with the Mclaren team (here the link ua-cam.com/video/hXp-jzo85kw/v-deo.html ) Im in my first yr at college and getting as an aerodynamicist in F1 is my dream but im really disappointed how unfair it is
