My Job in F1: Rachel | Material Science Engineer

Thank you so much for creating this video. Our 11 year olds daughter is a huge F1 fan and the Mercedes team is her absolute favorite. She wants to be an engineer when she grows up and we enjoyed watching this video with her so she can learn about the type of work you do. Inspiring!

[@mkarayazici]

As I am a colleaque of you Rachel, it wouldn't be summarized better than you did. Honestly, the key of the success in any kind of engineering application mostly depends on Materials Science i.e. the manipulation of materials so your job is highly crucial for the team, even if all the other departments and the engineers inside the factory are important as Sir Lewis said before :) Thank you for your great effort and nice to meet you and of course the other special thanks goes to the all of the members of this great team. GO FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!

[@len333p]

Terrific to see a young person with a great education at the cutting edge of a technology that will benefit much more than F1 in time. So much more to our sport than racing. Well done Rachel and Mercedes.

The strength of materials is one of the most difficult fields of study! Best luck with your job!

[@curtaustin8119]

I was at GE Aircraft Engines, working as materials engineer/scientist (PhD) and got lucky: I was on a team helping Ferrari F1, mainly on materials subjects. My area was gamma titanium aluminide, which was later banned except for exhaust valves (for cost). We metallurgists would speak ill of composites - "rags and glue" - but our department developed the beautiful composite fan blades of the GE90 engine. There's a metric for how much you could spend to save a pound in a jet engine, around $200/lb at the time, but it seemed that F1 teams could spend 10X or 100X more, and it was really just to redistribute the minimum weight favorably. The best part was that we acquired some *very good* tickets that Ferrari had sent to GE Corporate to the first Indy F1 race (2000).

One of the few fields in F1 that has a good possibility of translating to serial production vehicles. Hopefully, you get to come up with a *something* (process, material, material combination, etc) that eventually ends up in the public outside of F1.

Fantastic video seeing behind the scenes at the class leaders of F1. I am the Global Service Business Manager for Oxford Instruments, the company that provide the EDX system used for analysis on your electron microscope. I’m also fascinated to see how you would leverage augmented reality support via your partnership with TeamViewer as augmented reality is a key part of our service value proposition, albeit via a different provider that gives live video AR. We also take a leaf from your book with live IoT telemetry. OK perhaps not as critical in our world as yours, but we can offer predictive failure and live performance accreditation in real time remotely. You’ve inspired us :)

Yes rachel go! I'm in the middle of my PhD to become a material scientists. Currently working on superalloys that are commonly used in F1. Is my dream to work for you guys. Any ideas on how to start?

[@curtaustin8119]

I was a PhD specializing in Superalloys for many years, long retired now, but it seemed we reached their limits back then. (Superalloys are what make jet engines possible, fully deserving their name.) I maintained a model that predicted properties from alloying additions. We resorted to increasingly expensive elements, and it sorta ended between rhenium (e.g., René N5) and ruthenium. But that was 20 years ago; anything new come up since then? I worked on gamma titanium aluminide towards the end of my career. (mostly banned by F1 regulations!) Know that if you choose this field, it may sharply limit where you can live and work, but it is the pinnacle of metallurgy.

[@Law9652]

Rachel got on via a grad scheme, so apply for one or apply as a seasoned scientist.

[@bgst4702]

The FIA ​​admitted that it was wrong, advertising to the whole world. This error is not just any error , it is even characterized exactly as a coup , since at the entrance of SAFETY CAR , on lap 53 , with 5 laps to go and one more piece to the end of the race , Masi would have set up this blow : he informed to everyone exactly on this (lap 53), the one at the entrance of the SAFETY CAR ,"[until the end of the race, all the latecomers (will remain) in the position they are in. 'Causing Mercedes not to change the tires, until the end of the race also']". And when there was only one lap and one more piece to the end of the race, on the penultimate lap, on lap 57, when the time was up for Mercedes to change the tires. Masi saw, as the whole world was also seeing, that Hamilton would be on the last lap with old tires, hard for 43 laps. And seeing him also that Vestapen had just put on new tires, soft for 4 laps only, the blow was given by Masi exactly in this situation. He took the opposite decision from the one he had informed everyone, when the time for Mercedes to change the tires had run out, saying: "[the latecomers, (will not be) in the position they are in until the end of the race]". All these details, without taking it away, are shown in the video: "That's why Lewis Hamilton believes the race was manipulated", EFFE1 video, duration :2:52. The mistake was to take the title from Hamilton which he had already won, giving it to Vestapen who had already lost the race. A possible way for her to correct this error would not be to split the title in two making Hamilton and Vestapen feel like champions in half. Nor would it be taking the cup from one to the other, as was her mistake in Abu Dhabi. Rather, consider the champion from the normal racing conditions period, before her mistake, and the champion outside the normal racing conditions period she already considered. Hamilton also has to receive his champion's cup. There would also be two champions in this grandiose championship of 2021. This would reduce the FIA's discreditability in the face of this error of this size.
