Dominique Riefstahl

Race Engineer for Pirelli Motorsports. Liaison between Pirelli Motorsport and one F1 team at the track. Data analysis and R&D support of the F1 tyre program.

As a vehicle dynamicist, I prepare simulation models for the analysis of hybrid vehicles. As an across the range function this means all vehicles, from the small MINI to the big Rolls-Royce are being analysed for all hybrid functions in terms of vehicle dynamics and stability, but also with specil attention for all special hybrid and electric vehicle functions. Furthermore, I provide MIL models fo the lateral and longitudinal control systems for use in the simulation environment.

As a performance analysis engineer I review the performance of our race car on track and evaluate to what extend the limits of the performance envelope are reached in various driving conditions. Proposals are then made to increase the envelope or to use it to its full extend.
