Research notes and caveats
Confirmed across Wikipedia + Formula1.com + The Race as Alonso's day-to-day race engineer for 2026, paired with senior race engineer Chris Cronin. Education field (Mechanical Engineering, Oxford Brookes) per Wikipedia; specific degree level and years not publicly stated. f1_debut_year 2016 (Manor); years_to_race_engineer = 8 (2016 entry to first RE seat in 2024). Route tagged motorsport-msc-direct given Oxford Brookes (a noted motorsport-engineering route) -> graduate/junior F1 roles; could alternatively be uni-junior route, but his path was university straight into F1 sim/performance roles rather than junior single-seaters.
