Composite Design
Composite Design is one of the most central departments in the design of our F1 cars. Taking ideas and surfaces from Aerodynamics, then creating functional, structurally sound components that can endure the strain of race conditions. This department covers components across the whole car and provides opportunities to work on everything from Wings and Bodywork to Chassis and Internals. We work alongside our Structures and Manufacturing departments to continuously improve performance while implementing weight reduction strategies to get the best out of our work. With a hands-on approach to design and manufacturing, we are responsible for Composite components from cradle to grave giving a rounded experience of the F1 design cycle.
