This is why I love F1. Over 20 people working the pit stop, and the driver hitting his marks perfectly, literally braking at the last possible moment to maximize speed up to the pit lane entry, all for tenths of a second that can be critical to track position.

Say what you want about the action being boring at times, but the symphony required to make it all happen is the iceberg underneath what you see the driver doing in the car.



F1 cars are a marvel of engineering.

For example, Mercedes hires about 1000+ people. It is absolutely insane how much is happening behind the scenes. It is also a very demanding place to work for everyone involved.


Mercedes HPP has another thousandish building engines in Brixworth. Crazy stuff.
