Thought I'd post a long over due update
Disappointingly the above meeting led to nothing despite my best efforts, the intent was there but when it came to the crunch there just wasn't the support required to do it properly
Not all is lost though as this week I've agreed to join another F1 team who approached me out of the blue about building up, training and mentoring a newly created small group of design engineers in preparation of being fully race ready for the new 2nd generation hybrid power unit era starting in 2026
As this time it has the full backing and support from the head honcho and down I'm feeling very optimistic the team is serious about the importance of a well structured mentoring programme
Really fired up, can't wait to start, excited but scared in equal measure.
I'm my happiest, pushing motorsport design/engineering to the limit and often beyond my comfort zone
Only this time I'll have a few frightened, newbies strapped in riding shotgun with me, should be a fun and exciting ride
