Help Decifer My AMG Motor Builder's Name... Dennis D.....

Just wanted to know what his damn last name is...

My best guess for his last name is...

DENNIS "Daumaun"?

Anyone else have him as an engine builder? I know of 2 others here in Toronto.

thanks in advance...

I have the same guy as well. Tried looking him up thru the private lounge, but I came up empty.. At least you can read what yours says. Not sure what happened to mine. It’s so light, I can barely make it out.

I don't know if you guys know this but AMG has 63 engine builders right now.

They have just added 2 more female engine builders which brings it up to 65

(Still AMG displacement numbers)

Did the two new engine builders look like F1 drivers?

Sligthly OT, but what does it take to become an AMG engine builder? Do they pick someone that has worked at a dealership? Straight from school? I wonder if these guys get burned out doing a very repetitive task every day even though it is technical work?

Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg visited at AMG in Affalterbach. The Formula One drivers assembling the pistons and cylinder heads of a high-performance AMG engine. The 5.5 liter twin-turbo V8 engine will power the new Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake, which will be given its world premiere at the “Night of the Stars” on July 21st in Hockenheim.

if they have to follow standards in building the engine, i don't see why being women has anything to do with it.

And they just broke their one man one engine rule lol!

I personally wouldn't care/mind if woman built my motor. I find our opposite sex are generally more meticulous. Plus being only 1 of 2 women building motors in a factory full of dudes you'd think they would want to prove themselves and go above and beyond.
