Jack has always had an interest in mechanical engineering and decided to that interest into studying a degree here at Sheffield.

He tells us more about why he chose Sheffield - including the facilities, course and city - and how he is working towards a future career in Formula 1.

He also tells us more about being involved in extracurricular activities such as building a fuel-efficient vehicle and karting, why he decided to pursue a year in industry and how he is excited to start his placement within Formula 1.
