About Driver61
Driver61 is the biggest independent Formula 1 and motorsport YouTube channel, with over 1.3 million subscribers and 7 million returning viewers.
We entertain and educate passionate fans of motorsport and engineering by diving deep into technical content like no other. Our videos are conversational and aim to simplify complex engineering concepts, giving our audience a unique perspective on Formula 1 and beyond.
Our audience is primarily male, aged 18–35, and from English-speaking countries. They are motorsport enthusiasts and engineering aficionados who appreciate well-crafted, engaging content.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced and creative Scriptwriter to join the Driver61 team. You’ll play a key role in crafting high-quality, narrative-driven scripts for our YouTube channel.
Working alongside our researcher, founder Scott Mansell (head of creative), and video editors, you will develop scripts that bring complex engineering concepts to life, ensuring they are accessible, entertaining, and true to Driver61’s unique voice.
This is a remote role, but candidates based in the UK will have opportunities to join us in our Stratford-upon-Avon office or attend exciting motorsport events.
Key Responsibilities
Collaborate with Scott and our researcher to brainstorm and develop video ideas. Create detailed outlines and write full-length YouTube scripts (approx. 3,000 words each).
Incorporate interview excerpts from technical experts and external contributors into cohesive scripts. Work with the editing team to ensure scripts align with visuals and storytelling objectives. Occasionally conduct interviews with technical experts or assist with background research.
What We’re Looking For
Skills & Experience:
- Proven experience in scriptwriting, ideally for YouTube or digital platforms.
- A strong interest in and understanding of motorsport and engineering (e.g., being able to distinguish between a 2018 and 2019 F1 car).
- Exceptional storytelling skills with the ability to make complex topics accessible and engaging.
- Familiarity with YouTube content creation and audience engagement strategies.
- Strong team collaboration skills and the ability to meet deadlines consistently.
Soft Skills
- Collaborative mindset to work closely with researchers, editors, and creatives.
- Proactive approach to brainstorming and developing ideas.
- Detail-oriented, ensuring content accuracy and high quality.
What We Offer
Exciting opportunities to attend motorsport events and visit Formula 1 teams. The chance to interview top experts in the motorsport and engineering industries. Long-term potential to grow within Driver61, including involvement in short-form content and YouTube strategy. A role that combines passion for motorsport with creative storytelling.
Role Details
Type: Full-time or freelance (depending on candidate preference and fit).
Output: Approx. three 3,000-word scripts per month.
Location: Remote, with opportunities to visit our Stratford-upon-Avon office or attend events.
How to Apply
- A writing sample showcasing your experience with YouTube content (preferably motorsport-related).
- A short note explaining why you’d be a great fit for Driver61.
- Be prepared to complete a test assignment of 500–700 words on a specific topic if shortlisted.
This role is a unique chance to join the Driver61 team and help shape the future of motorsport content. If you’re passionate about Formula 1, storytelling, and engaging millions of fans worldwide, we’d love to hear from you
