At Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains our highly talented and ambitious team are responsible for the design, manufacture, testing and racing of Formula 1 power units and are pioneering in Advanced Technologies, transferring F1 technologies and know-how into high performance automotive projects and products such as the Mercedes AMG Project One and the Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX. In 2024, we took action to address the underrepresentation of women in engineering by launching our Accelerating Women in Engineering Programme. This initiative offered talented women engineers a unique opportunity to gain paid, one-year work experience, immersing them in diverse areas of engineering within Formula 1 and Advanced Technologies. Participants have the chance to collaborate with some of the world’s top engineers, gaining valuable skills and exposure to cutting-edge technologies. We are delighted to announce that we will run this programme again inviting the next cohort of 5 talented women engineers to join us in September 2025.
