F1 Aerodynamics Course
Learn from the Designer of Championship-Winning Cars

Imagine Walking Into An F1 Factory on Monday Morning
Your access badge beeps. The doors open. You’re walking past million-pound wind tunnel models, past CFD screens showing pressure gradients you actually understand.
This isn’t a tour. This is your job.
The interviewer’s eyes had lit up when you explained vortex management—not from a textbook, but like someone who gets it. When they asked about the Y250 vortex, you didn’t freeze. You smiled, grabbed the whiteboard, and showed them.
That champagne will taste different when your aerodynamics helped win it.
But here’s what I discovered after interviewing 50+ F1 HR managers last year…
It’s not your degree that gets you there.
“We get 200+ CVs per position. All have engineering degrees,” one recruiter told me. “But when someone truly understands aerodynamics—and when they’re passionate about F1—we know within minutes. That CV goes straight to the interview pile.”
The truth that changed everything:
Real F1 aerodynamics has been locked in the paddock. Universities teach theory. YouTube scratches the surface. The people who really know? They’re designing championship-winning cars, not making tutorials.
Until now.
Willem Toet spent 30 years designing those cars. Ferrari. Benetton. BMW Sauber.
Now he’s ready to teach you to think like he does.
In 8 weeks, you’ll see the invisible battles at 200mph. Understand why some cars dominate. Know exactly why that front wing will fail before it hits the track.
Whether that means walking into your dream job interview with quiet confidence, or finally explaining to friends why Mercedes is struggling (while they’re still guessing)…
The transformation is real. And it starts with taking initiative.
F1 is awesome. Let’s do everything we can to get you there.
Best regards,

What You’ll Be Able to Do After 8 Weeks
In 8 weeks, you won’t just understand F1 aerodynamics—you’ll think like someone who’s designed championship-winning cars.
Master the Language of F1 Aerodynamics
Speak confidently about pressure distributions, boundary layers, and vortex management. You’ll understand what’s really happening when teams talk about “correlation issues” or “aero balance” – and more importantly, why it matters.
Think Through Problems Like an F1 Engineer
Learn Willem’s methodology for approaching aerodynamic challenges. You’ll understand why certain solutions work (and why others fail spectacularly), giving you the problem-solving framework used at championship-winning teams.
Understand the Real Testing Process
Go beyond textbook theory to understand how wind tunnels actually work in F1, why correlation is such a challenge, and how to interpret CFD data critically. This is the knowledge that separates graduates from practitioners.
Connect Aerodynamics to Lap Time
See the direct link between aero decisions and on-track performance. You’ll understand how different circuits demand different approaches and why teams make the setup choices they do.
Stand Out in Any Technical Discussion
Whether it’s a job interview, a Formula Student design review, or a technical conversation, you’ll have the depth of knowledge that makes people stop and listen.
Learn What Books and YouTube Can’t Teach You
Access the unwritten rules of F1 aerodynamics from 30 years of experience. Willem shares insights about trade-offs and decision-making you won’t find anywhere else—because the people creating that content haven’t lived it.
Who’s Teaching You? Meet Your Instructor
Willem Toet isn’t just another academic teaching theory. He’s designed the cars that won championships.
For 30 years, Willem led aerodynamics at F1’s most successful teams during the sport’s most competitive era. When ground effect was banned, he pioneered new ways to generate downforce. When budgets were unlimited, he pushed boundaries others thought impossible. When regulations tightened, he found speed in the details.
But here’s what makes Willem truly unique: He wants to teach.
Most F1 aerodynamicists guard their knowledge like state secrets. Willem takes the opposite approach. For the past decade, he’s been on a mission to share the methodologies that took him 30 years to develop—the same thinking processes he used when helping Schumacher win championships.
As one Oxford professor put it: “His experience can only be matched by very few people, but it is his engagement with teaching which is unique in Formula 1.”
In this course, you’re not learning from someone who’s read about F1 aerodynamics. You’re learning from someone who’s lived it at the highest level. Willem doesn’t just know the theory—he knows why certain approaches work, which ones fail, and most importantly, how to think through problems like an F1 aerodynamicist.
His teaching style? Direct, clear, and refreshingly free of jargon. As one student put it: “Willem has a remarkable ability to make complex concepts feel accessible without dumbing them down.”

How You’ll Learn
8 Weeks That Fit Your Life
Every Monday for 8 weeks, you’ll wake up to find new lessons from Willem waiting for you. Each week builds on the last, taking you deeper into how F1 aerodynamicists actually think.
But here’s the key part: you watch when YOU want.
Gone are the days of missing crucial lessons because of lectures, work, or time zones. This is on-demand learning designed for busy people who refuse to compromise on quality.
What exactly do you get?
- 15+ hours of video content – Willem teaching you directly, broken into digestible modules you can pause, rewind, and rewatch
- Comprehensive reading materials – Detailed notes, technical papers, and references you’ll return to throughout your career
- Downloadable resources – Everything organised for easy reference when you’re solving real problems
- Lifetime access – Return to any lesson whenever you need a refresher (because real learning happens in layers)
What does a typical week look like?
You’ll spend 2-4 hours working through Willem’s video lessons, diving into the reading materials, and genuinely understanding concepts that would typically take years to grasp in industry.
The beauty of this format:
- Studying engineering? Watch between lectures or during study breaks
- Working full-time? Learn in the evenings or dedicate Saturday mornings
- In Formula Student? Fit it around build schedules and competitions
- Different time zone? No problem—Willem’s always available when you are
Some students binge everything on weekends. Others watch one video per evening after work. A few squeeze it in during lunch breaks. There’s no “right” way—just your way.
By week 8, you won’t just know aerodynamics—you’ll think like an aerodynamicist. And that transformation happens entirely on your schedule.
Launch Week Bonuses (Ending Soon)
When you enrol this week, you don’t just get the course. You get exclusive access to three bonuses that we can’t offer every time—because they require Willem and Scott’s live participation.
Bonus #1: Live 1-Hour Introduction Session with Scott Mansell (Value: £199)
Starting a technical course can feel overwhelming. That’s why I’ll personally walk you through exactly how to extract maximum value from Willem’s 30 years of expertise. You’ll learn my framework for absorbing complex material, which weeks to focus on for your specific goals, and get answers to your initial questions. This isn’t just an orientation—it’s your strategic advantage.
Bonus #2: 1.5-Hour Live Q&A with Willem Toet (Value: £299)
Imagine having direct access to ask the former Head of Aerodynamics at Ferrari your burning questions. That’s exactly what this is. Bring your toughest aerodynamics challenges, your correlation mysteries, your “but how does this really work?” questions. Willem’s hourly consulting rate exceeds £500—this session alone is worth more than the entire course.
Bonus #3: Complete Recording Library from Previous Cohort (Value: £199)
See what questions other students asked. Learn from different perspectives. Get multiple explanations of complex concepts. It’s like having study partners who’ve already completed the journey—showing you shortcuts and highlighting what really matters.
These bonuses are only available during launch week because Willem’s schedule simply doesn’t allow us to offer live sessions year-round.
