  • As the team prepared for the 2014 United States Grand Prix in Austin, we spent 24 hours behind the scenes, following Race Mechanic, Ole Schack and Race Team Co-ordinator Gerrard O’Reilly.
    We show you what their role involves in the 24 Hours before they leave for the race. With Formula One race cars to prepare and build and over 30,000 kilos to co-ordinate, pack and load - they’ve got a bit on...

    Ole has the toughest job. If the car breaks down he takes all the blame. If it runs good and they win the race. The driver gets the credit. Poor Ole.

      I believe he was just putting all the pieces together for the front of the cockpit at the factory for shipping reasons. The teams reassemble the whole car on Thursday and run diagnostic tests in the garage to make sure everything is working; if Ole fucked up something, the mechanics at the track will fix it.

Couple more of those and you'd already be looking for another job lol, it's nice to fantasize about these things but you have to look at the reality of it- imagine the sheer amount of pressure and mental-drainage (and of course physical) that these drivers go through... Wouldn't be surprised if 90% of F1 fans wished to be a driver, but 2-5% would actually enjoy it.
