Red Bull Racing offers five people opportunity to get inside F1

Paul Boughton
Red Bull is offering the opportunity of a lifetime this summer as it opens the doors for thousands to apply to learn from the best and make their mark on a Formula One World Championship winning team.

Red Bull is giving wings to all those who have dreamt of being involved in Formula One and the unique application process means that even those without the relevant work experience have the opportunity to be part of the team.
 
Red Bull is offering five people the opportunity to get inside the world of Formula One and join current World Champions, Red Bull Racing, on a one month internship this summer.

The five internships, in the departments of aerodynamics, electronics, marketing, IT and procurement will provide the successful applicants with a first-hand insight into what it takes to power one of the world’s most successful teams and give them the opportunity to make a difference and contribute to that success.
 
Forget perfecting the art of making tea and coffee, each new member of the team will gain invaluable experience that will help them progress in their career and create memories that will last a lifetime; whether it’s getting stuck in at the cutting-edge factory in Milton Keynes, playing a role at a Red Bull Racing event or even watching the drivers on race day.

The successful applicants will each learn from experts in their chosen field and will be given projects that could potentially mean the difference between first and last, in a sport where every hundredth of a second counts.

And the good news for the thousands of young people worried about a lack of practical experience is that this application process does not require a five page CV and years of relevant work experience.

Instead, to apply for this once in a lifetime opportunity, interested candidates can head to redbull.co.uk/racing where they will be asked to complete a series of tasks in a challenging online test. The test, which will assess a multitude of skills ranging from mental arithmetic to perseverance to reaction times, will put the potential interns through their paces to see if they’ve got what it takes to be part of the Red Bull Racing team.

Those who receive top marks in the game will be invited to apply for up to two of the five available positions, with the interview process of shortlisted applicants beginning in June at Red Bull Racing’s factory in Milton Keynes.
 
Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner said: “We understand that a lack of experience can be a barrier for many young people trying to enter the job market. That’s why Red Bull is opening up these opportunities to anyone, whatever their experience, to be a part of a winning team and join us here at Red Bull Racing. We are looking for individuals with a hunger to succeed and a passion for what they do. We believe this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the individuals to demonstrate their potential and learn valuable skills and hopefully they will grab that opportunity with both hands.”
 
Red Bull Racing Formula One driver Mark Webber said: “An internship at Red Bull Racing would be one of the best summer jobs you could have.”
