Job opportunities as engineering student

I'm soon to be starting my degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering in pursuit of a career in F1.
To aid this i want to build up my portfolio by trying to get jobs in racing teams in my first year and throughout, if sustainable, to get experience of working in a racing team. I was wondering if any one has any experience of doing this and if it is actually that useful?

My cousin did this and ended up working for Mercedes. It was a good experience for him but nearly killed him at the same time. They really work you to the bone and have a massively high turnover rate as a result so always opportunities. But be prepared to be treated like dirt.
