Ask HN: How do people in F1 get their job?

1 pointsby Donmarioover 8 years ago
I'm just wondering if it's mostly through networking or are people applying to job offers?

Depends on the position. The pit crew are made up of car mechanics and more senior technical&#x2F;critical roles.<p>You&#x27;ll never find a role advertised for a &#x27;wheel changer&#x27;, instead you&#x27;ll need to work your way into the company as a mechanic and then move onto the race team if you&#x27;re suitable.<p>If you have the experience then take a look on their company site, for example McLaren have various roles open:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;careers.mclaren.com&#x2F;go&#x2F;Racing&#x2F;724201&#x2F;?utm_source=careersite&amp;_ga=1.136974128.1021946753.1471957855" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;careers.mclaren.com&#x2F;go&#x2F;Racing&#x2F;724201&#x2F;?utm_source=car...</a>
