As a child, Julian Tan (pic) was badly bullied in school, but he is having the last laugh now. The genius, who is now the head of the Formula 1’s digital business and eSport, is the only Malaysian named in the 2020 Leaders Under 40 in Sports list for being the brain behind the virtual Grand Prix series.
Q: Congratulations on making the distinct list released by the International Leaders in Sports at the age of 32! How did you get involved in this unique Formula 1 business?
A: I grew up in Subang Jaya and after finishing my school studies, I got a scholarship to study for my A Levels at Taylors College. I moved to London later as I was one of the six Malaysians offered to study at the Oxford University. I did engineering and graduated with first class honours.
