In this week's INSIDER, join Curtis Stones, Chief Mechanic at Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team, as he explains the importance of his role in managing the two car crews and helping them to react to disruptions during a race weekend.
Liaising with the engineering and design teams back at the factory, the constant line of communication between Curtis and HQ is crucial in helping the team work through its programme, running constant checks on the car in the process.
Join Curtis in the garage as he works through the car build process, overseeing everything from the chassis, gearbox and engine installation, through to Thursday's final preparations ahead of the Friday practice sessions.
