Vice-president of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport Norbert Haug is to become a patron of the F1 in Schools Challenge in Germany.
Haug joins high-profile names such as Ross Brawn, Mike Gascoyne and Adrian Newey in supporting the initiative.
“Formula One is a technically sophisticated sport which attracts highly qualified engineers who have a passion for motor racing,” said Haug.
“F1 in Schools is definitely a great initiative to motivate students to envisage an engineering career in Formula One. It is never too early to train in the basic skills you need if you want to become an engineer one day.”
The annual contest sees school children aged 11 to 18 from more than 30 countries use CAD/CAM software to design, analyse, manufacture, test and race their own miniature compressed air-powered balsa wood F1 car.
F1 in Schools founder and chairman Andrew Denford added: “Norbert has been involved in Formula One for over 15 years and has a great depth of knowledge and passion for the sport. We know that he will be inspirational to all the students who participate in our F1 in Schools programme and thank him for giving us his support.”
