Laura Mueller Becomes Formula 1's First Female Race Engineer

Haas promotes Mueller to lead Esteban Ocon's car engineering team for the 2025 season, marking a historic milestone in F1's 75-year history.

Laura Mueller, a 33-year-old German engineer, has been promoted to race engineer by Haas, becoming the first woman in F1 history to hold this role.
Mueller will serve as the primary point of contact for driver Esteban Ocon, overseeing his car's performance and communicating with him during races.
Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu emphasized that Mueller's promotion was based on her technical expertise, work ethic, and determination, not her gender.
Mueller's career includes extensive experience in endurance racing and engineering roles, and she has been with Haas since 2022 as a performance engineer.
The promotion is part of a broader restructuring at Haas aimed at improving trackside operations after finishing seventh in the 2024 Constructors' Championship.
