Danyaal Hussain
Role in team: Salvage and Failsafe Lead
Bio: Hi, I'm Danyaal. Currently in my master’s year studying Mechanical Engineering. If it's anything to do with cars, we'll get on just fine. If not, don't worry, I'm still quite friendly even though I may not always look it! Did I choose engineering because I didn't want to be a doctor? No. It's because I'm fascinated with innovation and technology, and I need to make some money for a McLaren . Do what you enjoy, and you'll never spend a day working.
