what career field do I take to work with an f1 or a f1 team?
I have been a fan of f1 for years. I love the culture and traveling expenses. It just seems cool and a great place to work at. I am looking for something that is more on the marking side or something creative.

Hello, Tanvi !
It seems to me that all of F1 is creative ! Let's look at some positions that you can consider for this career.
Consider the following positions first and then you can explore college paths. There are Directors, Manager, Assistants, race engineers, Research and Development engineers, designers, aerodynamicists, various other engineers, race mechanics, and production staff. So your first step, in order to choose a subject to major in at college, would be once you decide what job you want to do, you can match it up to a college major.
By the looks of it, it looks like the array of job positions in this field may be connected with engineering, business and even the design aspect falls under engineering (mechanical and aerodynamic engineering). So, at least it's down to two possible Majors so far.
If it were me, I would go for an Engineering Major with a Business Minor. It will help you to attend as many races as you can, frequently, and network with the fans and staff. Read books about the field to get a fuller idea about the industry and that could help you decide what to major in by the time you reach college. Since you are interested in the Marketing end of the business, ask at the races who does the marketing. They usually have a Marketing Manager or Director. Read up more about this position online, too.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best !

Hey Tanvi,
Oh, working with an F1 team? That’s like um let's say hitting the jackpot of cool careers. I mean speed, travel, and that electric, high-stakes vibe. Totally get why you’re drawn to it! 😁
So, F1 teams aren’t just about the engineers turning wrenches—they’ve got whole squads handling branding, storytelling, and fan engagement. And Michelle’s spot on—there’s a ton of variety to dive into.
For the marketing and creative side, think about roles like:
Marketing Manager/Coordinator – These folks handle everything from promoting the team to managing partnerships with big-name sponsors (hello, fast cars and flashy brands).
Social Media Manager – The ones crafting those juicy race-day tweets and behind-the-scenes content. You’d basically be the voice of the team, which is HUGE in keeping fans hyped.
Content Creator/Producer – Capturing all the action through video, photos, and stories. If you’re a visual storyteller, this is the dream.
Brand Strategist – They’re the masterminds behind how the team presents itself to the world—merch, messaging, the whole shebang.
Event Coordinator – F1 is a traveling circus, and someone has to make sure the fan experiences, press events, and team appearances go off without a hitch.
If you’re serious about breaking in, a smart move would be combining a degree in marketing, communications, or media with some hands-on experience. Get comfy with skills like social media strategy, content creation, and even digital advertising. Bonus points if you can sprinkle in some sports marketing courses—they’re gold in this field.
Also, networking is key. Attend races if you can (even local motorsport events), slide into professional forums, or follow F1 job boards (yep, sites like FluidJobs or even LinkedIn have dedicated motorsport listings). And don’t be afraid to reach out to people in the industry—most folks are happy to share how they got their foot in the door.
Michelle’s advice to stay curious and keep reading up on the industry is Solid gold. The more you understand the inner workings of the sport, the better equipped you’ll be to carve out your place in it.
Hope this helped out, best of lucks Tanvi! You got this buddy! 😉🤗
