Fair.

I wanted to be in nascar so bad. I raced locally, had no sponsor, and even had a guy I think try to scam money out of us. But I ended up calling the team he was claiming to work with (not directly for but we were going to use their cars) and although what the guys was trying to sell us wasn’t true. The team itself was open to drivers who could bring sponsorship. Well, I didn’t have it but the marketing guy said I could fly out from Seattle WA to Charlotte NC and work with the team for a bit. So I flew out there and lived in a hotel for 6 weeks working for free. Finally got hired by the team and then from that point on just networked moving from team to team over the years. Never did get a real drive, but worked on the crew for many years. All started with a guys I had never met or even seen before giving me a shot based on a single phone conversation.

I'm assuming you could still apply, and if you get the job, it would fairly easy to get a work-based visa

@@adamwallis3235 look around you buddy, you will see lack of diversity first hand. Plus i have a friend from India who studied Motorsport from Brookes... Applied to over 250 roles in every single didn't even made to interview. Later he went back to India. While his British colleague had to apply less than 5 applications to land a job. I guess life isn't fair after all.

[@TillURide420]

Mr Beard had a pretty important job with the team. Good on him

[@folu12]

Saw the live stream weekend gone and thought this guy is funny.. 50 secs in and I am gripped. That glasses push after he spoke was sensational.

Very nice colab, i'm watching the full spotify podcast soon !™

Just come across these clips, where is the full interview? Not on the main page

red bull is more open mind than other teamx, probably easier to get a job out there without the appropriated diplomas.

im an electrician and want to work in f1 as an electro engineer but not sure how

[@jesusmachado9087]

Did he ever get asked to help around the garage? Maybe operate the jack or something?

[@HakarDoski]

how much did he make? I'm genuinely interested cause there is a LOT of money in F1

[@martinomburajr.5905]

I don’t think it’s as much as you’d think, the salaries I’ve googled seem inline with mid tier tech companies, and that’s for senior level engineers with 10+ years of experience

[@HakarDoski]

@@martinomburajr.5905 hmm, strange. I've always thought F1 people get paid like crazy

[@hellodan2166]

@@HakarDoski salaries are included in the cost cap (exlcuding the pay of the drivers and top three earners.) Maybe that is a reason why they don't pay as well as people would expect

[@bertanderny]

It's also not a lot because of how competitive and how many people want to get in.

Hi guys I am looking for F1 Work Experience but I have found no luck. Can anybody help?

I started working at Redbull this year, I don't have a degree, you just need to prove yourself you are worth it

[@TheBalfrog]

As a system engineering lead our company had plenty of associate schemes for non degree holding job changers, in fact there’s a big push for SE and DevOps Engineers at the moment.

@@NotSamuzed0o0 I would love to connect on LinkedIn and get your insight on how to go about job hunting. I don’t know, I did graduate into the pandemic and maybe my experience has skewed my views on the job market but everyone I know has really struggled to get a decent job within their area of study.

Send your CV over and over, don't be afraid of being rejected, talk to people, get experience in anything related to what you want to do (suppliers for instance), and keep trying to get in. Eventually you will!
