FIVE lucky students from Bridgwater College had the chance to look behind the scenes of Formula 1.

The group, who are studying the Foundation Degree in Motorsport Engineering, visited the Williams F1 factory in Oxford and went on a tour.

They saw various departments within the factory, including the design offices, machine shops, race bays and composite areas.

Programme Manager Josh Smith said: “The students really enjoyed the experience and the chance to see a variety of F1 cars from different eras, as well as how much effort goes into producing, maintaining and designing these cars.

“It was also a nice treat for them as a reward for their hard work over the year.”
