On this episode:
1 - What got you into F1 and what were your earliest memories growing in relation to mechanical
engineering? What paths did you take education wise to put yourself in the awesome position
you’re in today?
|2 - You worked with RML from a graduate all the way to Powertrain Design Engineer and a design
engineer for Delta Cosworth - could you tell us more about these experiences and anything you feel
they equipped you with that’s transferable to your current role at Red Bull?
|3 - Talk about the season so far with RB power trains. Seems like the engine is quite reliable, while
other teams have struggled. What are the biggest challenges design engineers face when it comes to
improving reliability without it costing performance?
|4 - This year we had the change to 10% ethanol fuel. Can you help our listeners understand the
complexity and challenge of such a change?
|5 - Big Emphasise from the FIA and drivers like Seb Vettel on the achieving 100% sustainability within
the field by 2026. With this goal in mind, do you feel this goal is obtainable? What measures would
need to be taken to ensure this is met?
|6 - When a new regulation for the PU comes through, how early do you start working on it so our
listeners understand just how much work goes into it?
|7 - For 2026 the MGU-H will be removed - from an engineering point of view how will this effect
performance characteristics like turbo lag or throttle response? How does it affect the role you do
generally? Is it more easier now that this component will be phased out?
|8 - How do teams use CFD and Wind Tunnels to test different design philosophies? What is involved
in the design process from start where it’s an idea or model to finish where it gets fitted to the car?
|9 - How do car failures or design flaws the cost the team results, affect morale within the team
amongst yourself and the colleague designers
|10 - What is the homologating process like working with the FIA to get particular parts signed off or
approved within technical standards
|11 - How has the cost cap affected the you obtain efficiency in the manufacturing and usage of parts
for the car? Is a front gets damaged for example, is it the case now where you try recycle or
resalvage that part rather than using up the budget to build multiple replacements?
|12 - Exciting time to be working at Red Bull - especially in the engineer division of the team! Could
you enlighten us on what the experience has been like with the reduced role of Honda, and rebrand
as Red Bull Powertrains? Has there been a change in the culture from working with a Japanese
engine manufacturer to now being more independent?
RBPT have partnered up with Atlast Copco a leading innovator in tooling and assembly solutions -
from your side George do you see any benefits in this? If so could you elaborate on those? | Follow us on twitter at @StripTheDip and SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE for more info 😀
