Infiniti Grants F1 Internship to 22-year-old Student
At only 22-years-old Alex Allmandinger already has a promising resume. From Crystal Lake, Illinois, he ascended to the top of the 2015 Infiniti Performance Engineering Academy (IPEA) after beating 11 other finalists. So, what’s the prize? Well, nothing big, just an internship. You know running to get coffee, filing paperwork and oh, working on the Infiniti Red Bull Racing Forumla One team for a full year.
In September, Alex will head to the Infiniti Red Bull Racing headquarters in the UK to embark on a 12-month journey that will give him a working experience like no other. Eight months, of the twelve he has committed, will be devoted to Vehicle Design in Milton Keynes, UK and the resting four months will be occupied with road car development projects at Infiniti’s European Technical Center in Cranfield.
