I love watching all kinds of motorsport, and anything related to mechanical or structural engineering. My favourite programs are Top Gear (new and old) and The Grand Tour. Lewis Hamilton is my hero and James May (Captain Slow) really makes me laugh.

This blog allows me to tell all about my journey to hopefully one day work in Formula One. I hope you enjoy it.
