Abstract

We’re delighted to welcome Paddy Lowe, Technical Director at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, the team in which Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button compete for the Formula One World Championship to speak to Cambridge Network members this October.

Formula One may seem a world apart from the cloisters of Cambridge, but these days it is a sophisticated industry, employing aerospace technology and attracting some of the very best engineering graduates fromCambridgeand elsewhere.

Inspired by his older brother Michael (who is now Professor in Mechanical Engineering at ImperialCollege) Paddy developed a passion for all things mechanical from an early age. “I rebuilt my first bicycle before I learnt to ride it! As I got older, I progressed to lawnmowers, motorbikes and cars, gaining a reputation along the way for fixing friends’ machines.” To read more and to book onto this event please got to http://www.cambridgenetwork.co.uk/events/mclaren/
