After a very early 6:45am departure, we arrived in time for our 8:45am start and a full programme of activities. Pupils began with a workshop on the maths and engineering behind an F1 car’s nose cone, analysing data and applying formulae before designing, building and testing their own prototypes — mirroring the decision‑making processes used across the Williams engineering teams. They also enjoyed a STEM‑focused guided tour of the Williams museum, seeing iconic race cars and learning how principles such as Newton’s laws of motion apply directly to racing. A highlight of the day for many was the F1 e‑Sports simulator session, where pupils competed across different 'real' circuits.

The group represented the school brilliantly and fully engaged with every part of the experience. It was a fantastic opportunity to see maths brought to life, and we hope the visit has inspired some future engineers and designers.
