Mechanical engineering student Matthew Moore will get the opportunity to work alongside some of the industry's brightest brains at HPP's Brixworth base this summer, and will also be fast-tracked to their apprenticeship selection programme early next year.

He is the latest in a long line of Northampton College students to be selected to get a taste of life in the HPP team and will now have the platform to showcase his skills and potentially win a permanent role with the F1 giants, helping to develop the Power Units driven by Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
