Things to think about if you're 16
For engineering based roles within F1, there are two traditional routes which you can choose to take. The base line for each of these routes is good grades at GCSE. This includes in particular maths and sciences, as well as design and technology or mechanics if you have such options. This solid foundation will provide the opportunity to go on to study an Apprenticeship, alongside a HNC, or HND qualification, or alternatively A Levels. It will also help you to determine how successful you might be at completing these key subjects at a higher level of education.
Things to think about if you're 18
Mechanical and aerospace engineering are the primary degrees applicable to working in F1. There is scope for electrical and manufacturing engineering as well. There are many areas of specialisation within those fields such as composites, materials, etc. There are a few essential subjects to take at university including: engineering mechanics (dynamics), fluid mechanics (aerodynamics), vibration analysis (dynamics), mechanics of solids (design), CAD (design) and materials science (design).
