I go back and forth on my opinion for this one. You wouldn’t necessarily want a mechanic or engineer to drive a race car, for example.

Yes, but having a mechanic or engineer who's worked on the racecar your driver is in would be very helpful on your team.

And we're also not driving race cars, we're the pit crew... So you kinda do want mechanics...

Like, literally, we build and fix the thing you're selling. We do not USE the thing we're building by and large.

GM does. Their engineers have set multiple track records[1] and vehicle-specific lap records[2].
