Coventry University graduate James Dornor has broken into the highly-competitive Formula One industry, and now works on cars driven by Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas.
But the 33-year-old’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. At the age of just six years old, James lost his father and had to grow up quickly to support his three older siblings and his mother, who juggled several jobs.
Fastforward to 2021 and he is now looking after some of the most prestigious cars in the Formula One industry.
After previous spells working for McLaren Racing Ltd and Haas Formula One Team, James is now an electronics support engineer for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team. His role involves maintaining and servicing Formula One cars that have entered retirement, keeping them in pristine condition for exhibitions and demos.
