Strange question.
Does anybody know of any F1 teams that have offices based in the City?
I've seen a job advertised but I'm convinced it's a fake job to try and get candidate details onto their system.
I'm trying to work out who the client could be.

To quote the advert:
Established is the 1960s our client has one of the richest heritages in motor sport. To date they have notched up multiple FI drivers' world championship titles and constructor's world championships.

Very plausable that there are offices in the city. Big companies will have offices all over the place.

Yeh I mean London - it's a software developer role.
But the city is the financial district and commands some of the most expensive rental costs in the country, I can't see why an F1 team would require offices in the city? (When I refer to the City, i'm only talking about the City of London, not London as a whole).
For example Mclaren have offices in Woking, just up the road from me, so I know it isn't them.

the interview dont necessarily have to happen at the office you will be working at.
as for F1 teams having offices, it could be possible for ease of entertaining sponsors/media etc having a central "city" location than the likes of their HQ (Williams F1 8 miles from me for example is in the middle of the country, the Super Aguri offices are a little further from me but they really are in the middle of absolutely nowhere!

Firstly, the same job is advertised on the website under the same recruiter about five times, each with a word for word identical spec but each has a different salary ranging from £40k to £100k.
Could genuinely be multiple roles within the same team but i highly doubt it.
Secondly I called up and he said "This role has just been withdrawn but I have these other fantastic opportunities......"
Bullshit.
