DID YOU KNOW? – An F1 car is made up of over 80,000 individual parts, if the car is assembled 99.9% correctly it would still have 80 things wrong with it. An F1 car can go from 0 to 160 Km/h and back to 0 in approximately 4 seconds. F1 cars generate so much down force that when travelling at only 195 Km/h they can travel on the roof of a tunnel. On a street course like Monaco, the cars generate so much down force that they could suck the manhole covers open, to prevent this from happening the covers must be welded down before the race.
