Jonathan Eddolls is a British Formula One engineer. He is currently the head of trackside engineering at the Scuderia Alpha Tauri Formula One team.[1]

Career

[edit]

Eddolls studied mechanical engineering at university, before landing a summer internship at Williams Racing. Eddolls greatly impressed the Grove outfit, so was offered a full time position as a graduate engineer where he rotated between departments.[2] Eventually Eddolls focused on data and performance engineering becoming Rubens Barrichello's data engineer for 2010-2011 and then provided the same role to Bruno Senna.[3] In 2013 he was promoted to race engineer to Valtteri Bottas and although their first season was disappointing, they proved to be a great team from 2014 to 2016 as Bottas recorded multiple podiums and finished in the top six in both 2014 and 2015.[4] In 2017 Eddolls left Williams for Toro Rosso to seek a new challenge as head of trackside engineering, a position he holds today as the team as evolved into Scuderia Alpha Tauri.[5] His current role consists of extracting the maximum performance out of both cars on any given weekend; working closely with the engineering teams on both sides of the Alpha Tauri garage and the performance groups back in Faenza.[1]
