hey im currently studying my a levels in maths,physics, and art. I want to go into a f1 engineering team in the future but im confused as to what is the right path to take to get there. ive done alot of research as to what the best course would be, the traditional mechanical engineering degree or the niche motorsport degree, but i can't seem to come to a firm conclusion as to what would be best i only really like cars and i'm afraid i might loose interest in the mechanical degree , but then my teachers and most the internet recommends the traditional route!!! also in regards to the uni, which would be best for motorsport engineering ive narrowed it down to brookes, coventry ,cranfield and loughborough (automotive), after reading old forums brookes seems to be a popular but now that coventry's in the equation im confused because it ranks highly in terms of their whole mechanical engineering department.
note- i know it's very hard getting into f1 straight after graduating, if not impossible! I'm not being naive into thinking i'll get in by choosing the correct course or uni, but a bit of guidance as to what is the most sought after course and uni in this field would give me a good base to work on so i know i'm on the right lines.
any help is appreciated thank you!!!!
