Where his interest began
What caught his attention was the science under the bodywork. Sensors, telemetry, algorithms: that side of Formula One keeps him curious.
Morning rhythm
A run through Sibiu before the inbox lights up. Led Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker” plays in the background while he checks overnight logs.
How he explains the job
“Data is key to understanding a process, so I look at it and pull out useful facts.” That’s the line he gives friends who don’t work in tech.
Desk style
Almost nothing on it. “I keep my desk clean most of the time,” he says. A clear surface helps him keep his thoughts in order.
First look inside the factory
“The scale surprised me, the number of people involved, and the amount of science and technology behind the project.” The visit confirmed that every line of code back in Sibiu has a role to play to help VCARB on track.
Keeping focus steady
When he needs to reset, he goes outdoors. Nature helps most; a bike ride on the edge of town clears his mind.
The fuel that keeps him going
Plain water is enough to keep him going during long training runs and review sessions.
Advice to his day-one self
“Things happen for a reason.” A reminder to stay patient when a dataset resists, or when a model needs yet another tweak.
What feels rewarding
He hasn’t reached a season finale yet, but he already knows what he’ll value: being part of a complex effort and seeing the results of everyone’s hard work come together.
