#f1 engineers

My goal in this post is not to defend lando norris (I simply don’t care about him), but do people know that the point of race engineers is to help the drivers drive faster? Like listen to a full radio and see just how much input the engineers have on different corners and whatnot. It has been a long time in f1 since so much of the lap time was not dependent on dash settings and ideal entries and exists. When other drivers say things like “why are we slow” or “how are we losing to the other car” that is literally them asking the engineers to help them drive faster. It’s almost like your engineer helping you is how the sport works <3

(writing this cause I’m curious but also… this is just me typing stuff, no one owes me anything I’m a nice person I swear!)

we see the girlfriends/partners/wives of f1 drivers but I’m genuinely curious as to how the wives/husbands/partners of the engineers feels about the whole thing.

like, we’re obsessed with these cars and these drivers, are they? Do they watch the races? do they travel with? like, GP and Shov and Hannah have children, are they just going to the local school like ‘yeah, dad/mum works with a world champion?’

(again, I don’t need to know, it’s not my business!) I’m just like - that’s normal for them and I’m here trying to plan my work weekends around races 😅
