I'm doing a project for college based on last years season. Does anyone know where I could get info on designers and engineers who worked in F1 last year?

I know on the cosworth racing website there's a profile of one of their graduate engineers who does F1 engine design. (www.cosworthracing.com) What kind of info are you after? I think I've seen a few profiles on other F1 websites. There's the engine companies like Ilmor who may be easier to get info from than actual F1 companies and anyone who does anythng for the cars such as Bridgestone and Shell may have info around. I've got a good book about the McLaren engineering but that's a couple of years out of date now - I'm sure a lot of the info still holds though.
PS If anyone wants to give me a job as an F1 engineer (or any other motorsport engineer) around Ausgust time ... |

I mainly need biographies, career history, that sort of thing. Chief team members are easy enough to get ahold of but I need info on as many people I can get. F3000 or CART would be of use as well.

I have a book called 'Formula One Racing with Marlboro McLaren Mercedes' by Norman Howell published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 1996 which has a bit more information in it about the working of the McLaren Team. It has a bit of background info on a wider range of engineers etc in the team. Also things like team year books may have profiles on selected people. Not sure about F3000 and CART though.
I do know quite a bit about the lad who is profiled on the Cosworth Racing website, as I used to live with him. You can contact me by email (I think you can link through 10-Tenths to me) if this would be of any use. |
