Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Supporting Strategy Group and Performance Engineers with Data analysis. Main focus on Pit stop and Pit lane performance which includes feeding back to the drivers and engineering team during the debriefs. Other tasks include creating pre event documentation on track limits and wet running, as well as health checking our cars during live sessions. Majority of analysis is completed in MATLAB, Python and PowerBI.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility in my placement. This included creating and running a “health checking” tool. It was my responsibility to flag any issues in the steering or suspension of the car onto the performance or race engineers. I was also responsible for all data analysis regarding pit stops and had the freedom to decide what data was relevant and ways to present it to both individual crew members and management
