On the 19th July 2019, Salford University’ Formula Student (FS) team took part in the FS educational engineering competition. Backed by high-profile engineers, the competition aims to develop enterprising and innovative young engineers and encourage more people to take up a career in the field.

The Las Vegas circuit appeared on the F1 calendar for the first time to much fanfare as the penultimate race of the 2023 World Championship. Seen as the showpiece race among the five that currently take place across the continent of North America, there was a lot of pressure to deliver an on-track experience that rivalled the spectacle taking place off it. To achieve this, there was an abundance of engineering expertise and innovation that went into the building of the huge 3.8-mile track through the heart of the city. Our latest blog features exclusive insights on the meticulous construction process behind the circuit, showcasing the expertise and innovation required to bring such a high-profile project to life.

Bentley Motors has taken another step on its journey to becoming the world’s most sustainable luxury car manufacturer.

When Jonathan Wilcox joined the Royal Air Force in 1999, he couldn't have imagined that more than two decades later he would be standing in the Mercedes Formula One garage with a front row seat for a championship-deciding finale.
Today, Wilcox is Trackside Electronics Support Engineer for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team, responsible for ensuring every electronic system on driver Kimi Antonelli’s car is functioning perfectly before each session of a Grand Prix weekend. Working for the team since 2021, it is a dream job for a lifelong motorsport enthusiast, but one he says was built on military discipline, long-term planning and years of networking.
His journey also offers valuable lessons for service leavers wondering how to translate military skills into civilian success.
