While I've followed F1 as a sport since the late 80s, in the last decade I've been more fascinated by the aspect of running these teams.
What it must take to run an engineering orgzanization of many hundreds of people where every single thing has to be basically perfect in design, build and execution. Because the other top teams are certainly aiming for that as well so anyone who doesn't is getting lapped.
While the pressure must be intense, I do envy that idea when looking from this side, the world of software engineering, where sloppy practices are the norm and there are rarely any consequences to inefficiency.
I would enjoy working in an environment where any single bug gives you a DNF and the code that runs fastest by a hundredth of a second wins and every other competitor is a loser. That would be very intellectually rewarding.
