Dalia Ramos, Mexican who works for the Alpine Formula 1 team

Thinking about Formula 1 was not in the plans of Mexican Dalia Ramos when she left university, But her desire for a master’s degree brought her to England began – unbeknownst to him – in what would be her willingness to reach the highest class.

today, Dalia leads the Alpine Build and Test team and is one of four women in this division at the Enstone plant, The United Kingdom handles mechanical assembly (internal parts, gearbox, fuel system, brakes), chassis assembly, as well as mechanical testing of vehicles and coordinates dispatch of parts to the department as well as reception for maintenance and service.

“If I’m honest, Formula 1 was not something I imagined where I could work, I’ve always loved carsI’ve always wanted to make cars, but I looked for challenges. I decided to get out of the space zone and started looking at luxury cars and things like that. But Formula 1 has reached, the pinnacle of engineering, and it was the right time for the team and for me,” he said in an interview with Millennium–Hobby.

The commitment is great, but her passion for process improvement and in-depth analysis of the process has led her to jump from Rolls Royce’s flying territory to F1 and Now he not only has the responsibility to leave the cars of Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon at a point, Also make internal changes to get back to the top of the tournament.

You are one of the few women involved and you also have a mission to change things…

F1 is a sport created for men and women, but that doesn’t mean we can’t change it. And that doesn’t mean they don’t want to change it either, there is now a very big push in teams and F1 to bring in more female talent and diversity in general. At the company, for example, they launched Rac(H)er, an initiative to attract more women into motorsport. They realized that diversity means efficiency and better performance in all aspects.

Does it put you under pressure to be on the cutting edge of these changes?

I think that’s a lot of pressure, but it’s one I’m used to living and working with. At first glance it seems that the challenges are not that difficult; However, I think they are very subtle and at the end of the day you realize that you work twice as hard to show who you are, to earn credibility and respect. Yes, I had to do my best throughout my career, but thanks to God I was able to achieve important challenges and this gives me confidence. But it’s an extra pressure that I don’t think all of my team-mates are under. At the end of the day, I’m used to it, and when I look back I realize my wins are even greater.
