From writers to content creators there’s so many who make our work possible. ATRL wouldn’t function without their contributions and efforts!

Aimée Jenkins

Writer

Aimée has been a fan of Formula 1 since she first saw Sebastian Vettel terrorize the entire paddock in the early 2010s. While this has unfortunately translated into supporting Red Bull in the recent seasons, her favourite driver remains Lewis Hamilton. When she’s not studying for her Masters in Criminal Law, you can find her rewatching the older series of Formula 1 as far back as she can find, or doing her best to catch up on her new interest in electric racing in the FE and Extreme E seasons. She is particularly interested in the legal side of the formula series and in the world of electrical racing. Outside of the world of motorsports, you can find her horse- riding, auto- testing, reading, trying to learn a new language or indulging in a glass of wine with her friends.
