I would think the teams get there aerodynamic engineers from the air craft industry? Check out the universities that teach aerodynamics.

Good Luck and remember people who work in F1 are just people and will treat you the same way you treat them.

What type of engineering do u study anyway?
Aerodynamics is usually a post grad specialistion.Although it is covered as a subject in aeronautical engineering degree courses.You can also become involved in fluid dynamics post grad programmes by obtaining a degree in aeras such as Mechanical engineering and physics .
To become a top designer usually requires a phd and expierence in lower motorsport formulae or the aerospace industry.
I have also heard that Cranfield university in england has started a motorsport engineering course.
Jordan have a very interesting info sheet on all carrers in f1 ,write to them and check it out!

As for Cranfield, I know that they are a purely post-grad uni. My sisters there at the mo' doing a aerodynamicists master. I'll ask her.
Oh, and I actually hang out in the Paddock Club. 9 out of 10 of my posts are non-motorsport

I have a story I wrote on Willem Toet, at the time chief aerodynamicist for Ferrari.
It tells the full story of how he went from preparing a Holden Gemini touring car in Australia, all the way to the top.
It will give you some good clues, although there isn't any set path.
You just need the talent, the determination, a lot of hard work, and some luck.
I hope you like the story.
