The Autosport Williams Engineer of the Future Award will run for the second time in 2016.

Nomination­s for the award closed in early May, with Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, Loughborou­gh, Bath, Southampto­n, Oxford Brookes and Belfast Queens University selecting candidates for considerat­ion.

These will be whittled down to just five candidates, with the winner announced at the Autosport Awards on December 4.

The judging panel comprises former Ford R&D director Richard Parry-hones, Williams chief technical officer Pat Symonds, team HR director Nicola Slater, former Jaguar Formula 1 team boss Tony Purenll and Autosport editor-in-chief Edd Straw.

Last year’s inaugural award was won by Oxford Univeristy Engineerin­g Science student Elizabeth Thompson, who won a two-year contract to work for Williams and will start work in September this year.
