Is there anything Melanie Franklin can't do? ??

From working as a Race Mechanic in W Series and #BTCC to being a Formula E Battery Technician, Melanie has a long story in motorsport despite her young age!?

She's currently working as an F1 Build & Test Mechanic at McLaren Racing and is one of the few females mechanics on the grid, showing that hard work can lead you anywhere ??

Big kudos to you, Melanie! ??
