I was wondering... why people always suggest to put on the bodywork dimples as on a golf ball and no one propose a F1 bodywork hairy as a tennis ball ?

just a stupid question.... how much does an f1 aerodynamicist earn???

thanks.

I've read anywhere between 2500€ and 13000€ it really depends on the importance of the aerodynamicist position inside the team....if he's the head of the aero department....he'll earn more then a average aerodynamicist the works for the "chief"!

If you're entering a F1 team as an apprentice....you'll only earn between 1000€ and 2000€ (these figures for the apprentice is my opinion, while the other values were taken from magazines).

are those per month? i thought an aerodynamicist earns about 10.000 euros a month!

apprentence is an intern, you mean? What if you do a master and then a phd in aero, if a team gets you then how much would you earn. could someone tell me as i would like to know.

Well yes I mean a month!

Yes the apprenticeship is the same as an internship.

With a phd....if you don't have any experience....you wont be one of the highest earners in the team....

You will also find it very difficult to enter F1 as an aerodynamicist with out a Phd anyway. Most F1 aerodynamicists either have Phds or a very good degree in aeronautical engineering (as aeronautical engineers tend to have a very good and deep undertstanding of aerodyanmic theory)
