The Grand Prix Mechanics Charitable Trust has launched a revamped website aimed at keeping current and former F1 mechanics in touch. Established in 1987 by three-time World Champion Sir Jackie Stewart, the trust aimed to provide support for mechanics should they be injured while working in the pit lane.
“Every time I sat behind the wheel of a Formula One car, I put my life in the hands of my mechanics,” said Sir Jackie. “I therefore have an absolute admiration for what they do. When times of hardship strike, the trust is here to help the mechanics by offering them support either financially, with medical support and guidance or with advice from our people who can identify what help is available from the government and other sources.”
