Caitlin Bunt (24, USA), Felix Lamy (21, Canada), Alexandros Palaiologos (24, Mexico), Riccardo Manfredini (24, Italy), Xuezi (Sally) Li (23, China), Shihab Solaiman (23, UAE) and Jaden Partridge (21, Australia), beat more than 4000 hopefuls to win a once-in-a-lifetime, 12-month placement split between automotive and Formula One engineering.
The budding young engineers have taken induction courses at each of the engineering centres, the INFINITI Technical Centre in Cranfield and the Renault Sport Formula One Team in Enstone, and met their senior engineer mentors.
A key pillar of the INFINITI Engineering Academy is exploring crossover opportunities and the sharing of technology between INFINITI road car and Renault Sport Formula One race car projects. As the seven Academy winners split their placements in half between each company, they will be the driving forces behind this technology transfer.
