In this episode of Steph on Skills powered by Enginuity, Steph meets Paul and Hannah Linden, a father-daughter duo working together for the Red Bull Formula One Team. 

With over two decades of experience in engineering, Paul manages the development of the 2026 race engine – or power train – making him the man who could make or break the team’s success next season. 

Having recently completed her apprenticeship, Hannah has followed in her father’s footstep by joining the automotive industry and is a Dimensional Quality Assurance Inspector, with the job of checking her dad’s engine components!

Together they discuss their career journeys, sharing the exciting, high-paced nature of Formula One engineering and the role apprenticeships and practical skills have played in their career development. 

Steph also asks how we change perceptions of a career in engineering, especially for women and girls, and Hannah and Paul offer their own opinion on the topic.
