Construction Workers PIP Residential Property Professionals in Formula One Battle

Construction Workers PIP Residential Property Professionals in Formula One Battle PR Newswire LONDON, July 20, 2012 LONDON, July 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Construction professionals are quicker than their residential property colleagues - at least in a Formula One car - as they set a quicker lap time on F1 simulators at an event held by Randstad, UK sector specialist recruiter and official partner of the Williams F1 team. Construction workers were almost three seconds quicker round the virtual Silverstone F1 circuit than residential property workers, setting a lap time of 2.02.031. Both sets of professionals were given the chance to test their speed and reflexes against Bruno Senna, nephew of the legendary late Ayrton Senna and a driver for the Williams F1 team, as well as to take part in a competitive sector versus sector competition against other professions. Construction workers' joy was short-lived, however, as both they and residential property workers were soundly beaten by civil engineers, who set the fastest average laptime of 1.57.482. Construction workers could only manage third place in the overall rankings after being pipped into second by manufacturing professionals, who motored to an average lap time of 1.59.678 Both sectors outpaced the banking sector, which was relegated into second last place after labouring to an average lap time of 2.17.528 - over 15 seconds slower than those working in construction jobs.
