After graduating from Cambridge, Allison put his engineering skills to immediate use in Formula 1 by joining the aero department of Benetton in 1991. A couple of years later he moved to Larrousse as head of aerodynamics before returning to Enstone for a second time with Benetton, this time as head of aerodynamics in the mid-1990s.
A five-year spell with Ferrari began in 2000 as he oversaw trackside aerodynamic operations during the most successful time in the Scuderia’s history. In 2005, he returned to Enstone to join the Renault F1 Team in the role of deputy technical director as the team won back-to-back drivers’ and constructors’ world championships. In 2009, Allison moved to his current role as technical director.
