Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about tracking Formula 1 jobs with The Empty Seat.
What is The Empty Seat?
The Empty Seat is a free, live job board that gathers career openings from every Formula 1 team into one place, so you never miss a new vacancy. It checks each team's official careers site automatically and flags new roles the moment they appear.
Which Formula 1 teams does it monitor?
Openings from McLaren, Mercedes-AMG F1 and Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains (HPP), Red Bull Racing, Racing Bulls, Williams, Aston Martin, Alpine, Haas, Audi and Cadillac / GM — pulled straight from each team's own careers site rather than a third-party aggregator.
How often are the F1 jobs updated?
Continuously. The board re-checks every team's careers page around the clock and marks roles first seen in the latest scan as “new”, so what you see reflects each team's live openings.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Browsing and searching every Formula 1 job is completely free. Creating an account to upload your CV, follow teams and receive alerts is free as well.
Can it match my CV to F1 jobs?
Yes. Upload your CV and the built-in AI scores how well you fit each open role, so you can focus on your strongest matches instead of reading every listing.
How do I get alerts for new F1 jobs?
Connect Telegram from your
profile to get an instant message when a new role is posted — either from specific teams you follow, or roles that match your CV above a score threshold you choose.
How do I get a job in Formula 1?
F1 teams hire far beyond drivers — engineering, aerodynamics, software, data science, mechanics, manufacturing, logistics, marketing and operations. Create a profile, upload your CV, and let The Empty Seat alert you the moment a fitting vacancy opens at any team.
