My path to motorsport.

One day, I was fascinated by watching a car race on television. At that moment, I was gripped by enthusiasm for motorsports.

From then on, I studied the racing calendars and watched various racing series on television or via internet streams. This was followed by visits to the race tracks: Nürburgring, Spa-Francorchamps, Hockenheimring.

And, of course, YouTube videos about technology in motorsports. I devoured Adrian Newey's book “How to Build a Car.”

In 2025, I did internships at Schnabl-Engineering in Butzbach. I was pleasantly surprised by how warmly the team welcomed me. Fabian explained and showed me a lot on the first car. On the second car, I was allowed to do some of the work myself.

So “my” first clutch change, transmission and engine installation at the start of the season were rewarded with a double victory at the Nürburgring (NLS1). Thank you very much for placing so much trust in me!

Team principal Sven Schnabl took a lot of time to show me data management and data analysis on the computer. At the race track, the engineers gave me further insights into the work at the command center.

In my 11th year of school, I will choose mathematics and physics as advanced subjects in order to lay a good foundation for studying automotive engineering. I also work hard at English because a lot of English is spoken in the teams.

My career goal: engineer in motorsport.
