Research notes and caveats
Confirmed across Wikipedia + The Race + RacingNews365 as the senior race engineer over Alonso's car and Alonso's named radio point of contact for 2026, working alongside RE Andrew Vizard. Listed as 'Senior Race Engineer' rather than the primary day-to-day RE; included because the task asks for Alonso's race engineer(s) and Aston Martin uses a paired RE structure. Education not publicly documented (left empty). f1_debut_year 2015 (Force India, Performance Engineer); years_to_race_engineer = 5 (2015 -> first RE seat 2020 with Perez). Route tagged data-eng-to-RE: entered F1 in a performance/data-analysis role and climbed PE -> RE -> Chief Engineer.
