What better way to start off Season 3 of 'Racing Lives' than with the utterly awesome Bernie Collins. Starting as a graduate trainee at the 'McLaren Formula 1 Team' back in 2009, fresh from studying Mechanical Engineering at the 'Queen's University' in Belfast, Bernie has gone on to Graduate Engineer, Design Engineer then Performance Engineer in just 6 years. She then joined the team now known as 'Aston Martin F1 Team' as a Performance and Strategy Engineer, then Senior Strategy Engineer and most recently Head of Race Strategy. She was featured by Forbes in their 2016 30 under 30 list for manufacturing and industry in Europe, was an ambassador for the Make It in Great Britain campaign, and has gone around the world several times thanks to the Formula 1 circus, most often seen sitting on the Aston Martin pitwall during races. She is now doing her own thing, which has included post-race strategy analysis for Formula 1 TV and is excellent viewing. Links are below if you'd like to check them out. Written by
