The opening for entries was announced by Infiniti EMEA Vice President Fintan Knight, Infiti Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber and the team's Head of Car Engineering Paul Monaghan during a special even at the Infiniti IREDI showroom in Dubai, just ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

“Formula One sits at the pinnacle of global motorsport with the best drivers, the best teams, cutting edge technology and the cream of the crop of engineers from around the world,” said Knight. “Just as Formula One is fiercely competitive on-track, so it is off-track when it comes to engineering careers. We’ve created the Infiniti Performance Engineering Academy because we want to encourage and nurture the best new engineering talent,” he added.

The talent search for performance-driven engineering students is open to all students from across the world at pre-selected partner universities and colleges who have the ambition and talent to work in Formula One. Applicants must be entering their final year of education or graduating in 2014, be fluent in English language, and be available to work in the UK for a continuous period of twelve months from September 2014.
