Lewis Hamilton has touched countless lives with his work on and off the Formula 1 track – and Stephanie Travers can certainly count herself among those people.
Born in Zimbabwe, her parents moved to Surrey in order to give their children better opportunities. Her father was an engineer so that, combined with her love for F1, meant that there was only one career path that she ever wanted to pursue.
Now, Travers is deputy team principal of Hamilton's Extreme E team X44 Vida Carbon Racing. Before that, she spent three years working with the Mercedes F1 team as a trackside fluid engineer, during which time Hamilton himself took her under his wing.
