Is F1 not able to attract global talent? Because there are plenty of schools around the globe that produce engineers who should be competitive with those from central England. If F1 can attract global talent but still only employs mostly white dudes from Milton-Keynes, that's an issue.
If F1 is not able to attract global talent, you have to ask why. You'd also have to wonder how much better the cars could be if they could.
I assume so, but I guess not everyone wants to move to MK, it is a bit of a shithole
Is is so bad that an excellent engineer and F1 fan would turn down an opportunity to work in F1 because they have to live there, or is it possible that F1 hiring is at best geographically biased?
