‘Working in F1’ series: Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN’s media and communications manager, William Ponissi.
Ever wondered what’s it like to work in Formula 1? We have kickstarted a special series – ‘Working In F1’, that will bring to you paddock personalities who tell you exactly how it is to work in Formula 1.
In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, we have William Ponissi (Senior Communications Manager, Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN) who explains the role of media and communications in a Formula 1 team. Will-P, as he’s been fondly called since his days with the Force India F1 Team, explains the joys, the challenges and the hectic schedules that come along with the job.
Are you interested in a media and communications role in Formula 1 or with a Formula 1 team? Will-P shares his pre-Formula 1 journey and explains how one can build eligibility. And of course, we ask him how it is to work with the charismatic Kimi Raikkonen!
