Very interesting story, i for one would like to see more content on how you got to where you are and what decisions you made that were good and the ones that were wrong...,might learn something 😁
What an interesting personal story. Great advice for the younger generation as well - give it your all, never give up. Love your humble, grounded attitude. All power to you and congrats again on the 430. Cool car. Cool owner.
very interesting Justin, and also a bonus that you don't have that awful woman in the car too !! I still think the upchanges on that gearbox are a bit slow, I'm sure you could change up in a manual box just as fast (or slow) !!
You did mention you worked for an F1 team before. Interesting to hear the full story. I watch your videos because you, your location and your lifestyle. Top Gear and latterly The Grand Tour are popular because of the presenters, not because of the cars. More of the same please!
Thanks Justin, very inspirational interesting you didn't like the F1 gig & life is too short not to enjoy your job to be stuck in a crappy job... I truly believe that work hard you can get to where you want to go & I don't think you need to be aggressive to get there
Great yarn Fezza. Ah, the days of being an impoverished student/new graduate. I once sold my bass guitar and practice amp for A$20 at the local pawn shop just so I could put half a tank of petrol in my ancient 4.0L Valiant station wagon (what a bus for $700...). Yes it was tough, but still the most fun time in my life - zero responsibility!
Great story, 🙂 Very inspirational 👍 Reminds me in some way of my first full time job few years ago while I was student. With crappy salary couldn't afford lunch at break sometimes, always tight on budget 😂
Jezza, that was great to listen to. Life is never that easy and clear cut. I do admire your, hard work ethos and it will get you your goals. I know that F1 is such a different place now but would you want to go back there?? I think it would even harder than before. You could do their RUclips channel, hahahaha Have you seen the New Focus RS..........
I still don't think I'd be a fit for F1. I think it's probably even harder now and I still don't think I'm the right personality! The new Focus RS....I think the images going around are not official ones yet.
People. That is the only thing that truly matters. Wherever you are, whatever job you do, however much you get paid, it is the people that matter. You can have great pay, working conditions and lots of holiday and perks but where people are a bunch of a**holes, which all adds up to a horrible stressful job that you hate with every fibre of your body. Conversely, I've had jobs where the pay is rubbish, holidays are legal minimum and the building is a dump, yet the people were great. It didn't pay the bills but it was the best of times. Like I say, it is the people who matter. Graduate engineer pay is still rubbish (still seeing £14k jobs here) it can't compare with pretty much any other field, but most of us can't imagine doing anything else.
Great story. Similar in some ways to mine. I spent all my youth wanting to join the RAF, didn’t wanna do anything else, and so I joined up to be a propulsion technician. But from very early on, the class system and snobbery of the RAF didn’t sit right with me, especially while carrying my working class chip on my shoulder. So I left. Went back to my locksmiths which remains the best job I ever had.
Cool story ending with a Ferrari tunnel run. Nice. I did think the camera on the windscreen was a van in the distance that you couldn't catch for a short while...
Thanks for sharing with us Justin. What I have found in the 46+ yrs I have been on this planet of ours is Life is about "choices". Sometimes you make good ones, sometimes bad ones. You can't blame people for your failures, just like you can't blame people for your own success. What's difficult is finding something you really passionate about and peruse that. I have really struggled with just finding what I am truly passionate about, then have the courage to say "ok I am going to go all in". Over the years, you become less and less likely to take those risks. You get married, have kids, have a mortgage and you think to yourself that the risk is not worth the reward. Then 20 yrs pass and your a miserable soul full of bitterness and regret. So try and make good "choices" in life. Take a moment and smell the roses, because that one rose you stop for? May actually change your life. 🙏 Just so you know.....I need to stop for that rose too...I am still trying to make those right choices....Its not easy. Anyway, sorry for the rant...Just my thoughts.
it does get harder with time and most of my friends would never take the risks I've taken. They look at me and think they would like to do the same and I look at them and wish I had the stability that they have in their lives. Sometimes we just have to stop and be grateful for what we have :)
I think I needed to hear this this morning... working in the structural steel industry and it feels like I'm constantly fighting a battle with detailing software to try and keep on top of it. Barely an hour into working today and already I'm saying to myself "I hate my job..."
Impressive. My background is also mechanical engineering. I was draughtsman for 15 years until 1995. I left to work for the CAD/CAM centre at Warwick Manufacturing Group within Warwick University. I worked with a guy who’d been in F1 as designer before WMG. After I’d been there about 18 months he left and went to work for Jaguar Racing as a System Admin. They became Red Bull. I believe he worked his way up to technology manager/president or some such thing. I remember him saying F1 was not like anything else. He worked all summer weekends as you might expect and he said the job had to be above family. Apparently it was well paid and he left for twice what the CAD/CAM centre were paying me 😁
Share whatever you want Justin, like most of your subscribers, it's you we want to watch, the subject matter is virtually irrelevant and sadly the flurry of videos recently seems to have ceased again........not good enough! 👍
Great. Just so honest and wise... if you have a dream, just dont give up! Anything is possible. I will buy a Scuderia this year, and never ever thought I might be able to afford it... lots of hard work mate!! I remember washing dishes for 10 hours a day just to have the money to go on a holliday trip for a week with my girlfriend 20 years ago.. tough times. Only had a rusty bike to go to my university.. 🙋🏻♂️🚗😄
It is coming together now Fezza. I always wondered how effortlessly you go through your technical or mechanical subjects as though it is 2nd nature. Makes sense now....great to know you actually have the mechanical background and not just a marketing genius
I totally relate to giving your all and sadly even more so to the fact that I had to call in sick because I didn't have the money for the fuel to get to work embarrassing absolutely true story absolutely cheers
What are you up to these days? We share very similar stories I'm an Engineer myself too. Tough training and to start but at least the possibility of a good life is there. Fast forward a decade and I live in Tenerife having a blast. Yet to buy a Ferrari but I still have a good decade or so to catch up with you!
Really interesting story and I relate to it completely. I too went through financial hardship when I was at university and for many years afterwards. It is only through hard work and perseverance that we can overcome such difficulties. When you’re going through the difficult times it can be hard to see light at the end of the tunnel, and it can take many years to get to the other side, but when you do reach the other side it is fantastic to realise that ones achievements are solely down ones own dedication, hard work and resilience.
Love the story. Most people crave the success and life that others have, but quickly forget how many sacrifices and hard work it took to get there, we simply want the reward with out the work.
I love your vids mate! Very-very genuine and interesting, no over editing, not trying to be someone who you’re not etc - LOVE IT! Wishing you all the best from Estonia! ❤️🇪🇪
Love the stories, it's what makes you so interesting and watchable. Many of us can relate to this, what we have now means so much more because we worked hard for it!
This is a great video, always loved Fezzas and would dream to be able to one day take my own ferrari down the twisting backroads of the spanish hills. Love your content!
I think lots of us at some point find ourselves in jobs or places we’ve dreamt of working, only to find we don’t fit or it doesn’t suit - I know I found that out the hard way when I was younger. I think its so important to enjoy what you do, as well as keep plugging away at the goals!
Hi.I just stumbled across your channel, have you done a q&a ? I understand you dont want to give too much personal information, something I would like to know is, how did you end up in Spain? , A bit of background info would help put your vlogs into context
Fascinating...Tyrrell was one of my favorite teams (after Colin Chapman's Lotus!). I found their outside the box thinking as brilliant as Chapman's. The P34 was as revolutionary as the Lotus 77/78/79. It speaks volumes that Tyrrell evolved to BAR/BAT which is now even a bit more famous as Mercedes-AMG Petronas. You certainly got to participate in an amazing history! So yes, please keep on with this type of story...It's #Fezza-nating!
Sounds bragging but I have ability to 15 Ferrari's but making money is not uniquely hard work It's also doing the right thing at the right time Hanging out with right people and luck plays a huge part When u start to make money hard work becomes addictive Guy driving taxi 12hr shift also hard work Staying richer is learn new skills read new books bring innovation to your life and also to the life of others 😀

Yeah I thought he'd told us that too - glad I wasn't imagining it!

Fantastic as usual Fezza! 👍
Thanks Craig!
Very interesting story!
Buen video Fezza! Muy interesante!

Interesting and excellent video thank you 😊

Great video Justin, love your open, honest aproach and...what you say is very true.
Thanks Robert!
i totally feel you! same story with me! thank you for sharing it!
You're welcome 🙂

Fab :) By the way, back in Manilva from Monday so buzz me when you're around. Cheers
Good video, i'm struggling to find/understand my goal.
Cool story ending with a Ferrari tunnel run. Nice. I did think the camera on the windscreen was a van in the distance that you couldn't catch for a short while...
Really interesting and motivating video. I can relate to this. Btw Audio not that good. Wind noise ?
Thanks Reza. Yeah, the sound is odd. Need to try a different mic

I'm in the recording studio business and working for free to get in full-time is standards practise, it sucks but it is what it is....
I think I needed to hear this this morning... working in the structural steel industry and it feels like I'm constantly fighting a battle with detailing software to try and keep on top of it. Barely an hour into working today and already I'm saying to myself "I hate my job..."
I've had a few jobs where I've felt like that. It's not nice. We spend so much of our day at work. Best of luck mate :)
Wow Fezza no fuel to get to work..... yup been there and had to take time off 🤣🤣🤣 how did we survive. Loved your tale on F1 👍
BAR British american Racing, i believe later it was taken by DAVID RICHARDS?? from PRODRIVE.
Yes! It then became, Honda, then Brawn GP and today is the Mercedes team :)
Open and honest as always. Really enjoyed the video "Always be nice to people on the way up because you don't know who your meet on the way down"
I get this every now again about how did I get to where I am, and I always say hard work and stick ability
Inspirational story. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome
Thanks for sharing. I like your story telling style.
Thanks for sharing m8 all the best 👍

Oh I'll keep a 'listen' out for you in July as we are staying in Duquesa again and can't wait. 👍
Great. Just so honest and wise... if you have a dream, just dont give up! Anything is possible.

Fezza Yes! Can not wait to start the Engine the first time...

Probably we all are naive in the beginning. At least you managed to work at F1 - even it didn't make you rich, it has been an experience for life!

For sure. There's a lot of sacrifices along the way.... relationships in particular can suffer a lot. That's definitely been my experience!
What?!?! You worked for BAR! That’s an incredible insight and very inspirational. Thanks for sharing Justin.
Certainly did! Seems like a very long time ago now!!
Great story mate.So you are one of use 😂
Great story! My youngest dreams of working as an engineer in F1.
As long as he's got the right character for it he'll love it!
I love your vids mate! Very-very genuine and interesting, no over editing, not trying to be someone who you’re not etc - LOVE IT! Wishing you all the best from Estonia! ❤️🇪🇪

Hi Jason a great honest story very interesting thank you for sharing it with us 😀👍
Wow, such an interesting video. Very articulate. Some great life lessons.
Thanks mate. Glad you found it interesting
This is a great video, always loved Fezzas and would dream to be able to one day take my own ferrari down the twisting backroads of the spanish hills.
Love your content!
thanks Jack! Hope you get to buy your own Ferrari soon :)
INSPIRATIONAL. THANKYOU.

Cool story, bro.
Where’s the cat these days?
She'll be back soon 😺
Great story.

You are a true inspiration my Friend 🙌🏼
Sounds bragging but I have ability to 15 Ferrari's but making money is not uniquely hard work
It's also doing the right thing at the right time
Hanging out with right people and luck plays a huge part
When u start to make money hard work becomes addictive
Guy driving taxi 12hr shift also hard work
Staying richer is learn new skills read new books bring innovation to your life and also to the life of others 😀
I agree but for the majority of people it is down to sheer hard work
Great story and loved the tunnel blast to end the video.
Great storie, you seem like such a decent person. Good to see you back 👍
Thank you 🙂
thanks for the wind noise....I can't understand anything
Sorry Robert, won't use that mic again!
Lol, I thought there was a problem with my speakers!
@@FezzaYT actually....I have to be sorry...I could have been more friendly
