They only take the best engineers in the world. I remember Ferrari F1 did recruit a Canadian engineer from Univ of Waterloo many years ago.

Could be Alpha Tauri. If Ferrari was advertising you would expect fluency in Italian to be required.

One of my friend works in F1. Its not for everyone, lots of travel,never home and hard to have a normal life. Very long hours at the track as well, especially if you are in hospitality side of thinof. Its sorta worse and better at the sametime with Covid as the rounds have been closer and crews are on rotation.

Well in the case of Ferrari, that may not strictly be true

HAAS has posted a lot of jobs since January at their UK and Italy facility
i have only seen job postings from HAAS and William in the racing jobs group im in
there was a Crew Posting for HAAS, i applied in January, got a reply but nothing came of it
they mostly hire European residents and passport holders according to my buddy in Redbull

so im good with my Carrera Cup and TCR gig for 2021 season

He’s psyching out the other teams and even his teammates when he does this. Lewis is one of the best at managing tire wear and performance
