    i tell you something
    you (the presenter of the video) deserve all the success the world can offer. you have sincerely and open heartedly offered as much information as possible to help anyone with a dream. we know f1 is competitive all the way from secretary to driver, (as it should be), but you have given everyone a glimmer of hope. this is why you deserve the success.
    this video is a rare gem of info that is otherwise hard to access in one place on the internet (if anywhere at all) and again why you deserve the success.
    best luck to you on your job hunt
    p.s. your comment on red bull and their financial acumen, or lack there of, is spot on. it is the one team, if i was offered a job, would not work for. but that's just me.
    good luck to all.

      Wow what a video! I’m so gutted as I want to part of motorsport/formula 1, although I failed engineering at gcse as I had a awful teacher. I’m studying a level Sport sociology and geography currently and would love a job, even if I wasn’t payed I’d do a job, just travelling and working with these athletes(including the pit people), working as a TEAM is a clear dream of mine, I regret not studying engineering at a level as it would be a perfect way to this job but any tips as I’m 16 and want to be in formula 1 etc would truly be helpful but this video is class!

      @@msln_0624 i know this reply is late. But if engineering is your passion, I would advise you to study engineering at university with a foundation year! Some universities will offer foundation years that will teach you the maths and physics needed. You’ll study for an extra year, but it’s definitely worth it! Definitely research it if youre still interested :))

      @@msln_0624 if your 16 like me i think you still have a chance because remeber most schools don't offer engineering GCSE and many colleges ad especially sixth forms don't offer engineering A-level so people from there would just do a certain type of engineering as a degree in uni. They would just usually do physics and maths as an alevel but as Stephanie said you can do them classes at uni!

    I can agree more or less.
    Yes, the jobs are rare and not that easy to get, but you don´t need any university degree or so to get into F1.
    I am working myself in a Formula 1 Team as an IT-Sysadmin and I don´t have any higher degree and only 5 years of work experience.
    It is more about how you present yourself.
    Working in F1 is extremly exhausting and you must know this.
    It isn´t flying around the world seeing a couple of new countries and being around the rich and famous, being on trackside means 12 hour shifts at least 5 days a week.
    Of course I cant speak about the Engineers, Aerodynamics, they are at the pinnacle, but speaking about the other jobs on trackside.
    Such as a mechanic, IT or so, it isn´t impossible, the hardest thing is to find a job and get the first invitation for a call, not to get the job itself afterwards.
    If you want it, just try it, but be aware what it means. (Often leaving his home, moving away, be away over 20 weeks a year and so on)
