Andrew Shovlin (born 1 November 1973) is a British Formula One engineer. He is the trackside engineering director at the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One team.[2]
Shovlin graduated from Leeds University in 1998, after completing a BEng in Mechanical Engineering, followed by a PhD in Vehicle Dynamics and Control.[3] Shovlin started his career with BAR in 1999. In 2004–2009, Shovlin worked for BAR, and later Honda and Brawn GP as race engineer to Jenson Button. In 2010, he was appointed as race engineer for Michael Schumacher at Mercedes GP. He was promoted to the position of track engineering director in 2011, a position he has retained to this day.[4] Shovlin's current role consists of extracting the maximum performance out of both cars on any given weekend. He works very closely with the engineering teams on both sides of the Mercedes garage and the performance groups back in Brackley to ensure that both cars benefit from the best available information at a race weekend.[5]
