Technical Leadership – F1 Fuels Domain
Provide advanced subject matter expertise in fuel chemistry and development, leading the design, testing, and optimisation of sustainable F1 fuel formulations to meet performance, regulatory, and operational requirements.
Ensure translation of laboratory research into track-ready solutions and support rapid iteration and continuous refinement of fuel formulations across the race lifecycle.
Programme & Delivery Ownership
Lead and coordinate the F1 fuels development workstream, ensuring effective planning, prioritisation, budgeting and execution of activities across research, testing, and operational phases.
Drive delivery against performance targets and ensure alignment with broader F1 programme objectives.
Stakeholder Coordination & Integration
Act as the primary technical interface across internal and external stakeholders, including Aramco, Valvoline, Aston Martin, Honda, and external blending partners, ensuring alignment of priorities, including integration of fuel solutions with power unit, lubricant, and vehicle performance systems, and effective collaboration across the fuel programme ecosystem.
External Partner & Supplier Management
Build and maintain strong working relationships with external technical partners and suppliers, ensuring quality, consistency, and performance of delivered products.
Coordinate technical discussions, support joint development initiatives, and manage technical inputs into the overall programme.
Informal Leadership & Capability Development
Provide technical guidance and informal leadership to the geographically distributed science team and other contributors across the fuel development lifecycle, aligning activities, sharing expertise, and ensuring consistent delivery standards without direct line management responsibility.
Trackside & Operational Integration
Ensure seamless integration between fuel development activities and trackside operations, supporting decision-making during race and test events through technical insight, data interpretation, and rapid problem-solving in high-pressure environments.
Compliance & Regulatory Assurance
Ensure all fuel products and processes comply with FIA technical regulations and applicable industry standards, maintaining rigorous testing, validation, and documentation practices to support compliance and audit requirements.
Data-Driven Performance Optimisation
Oversee the collection, interpretation, and application of technical and operational data to drive continuous improvement in fuel performance, reliability, and efficiency, supporting engineering decision-making across the F1 programme.
