There r more than 1000 parts in the car;

Every race ending the driver losse 5kg of weight.

One engine is used for only two races;

they change the tyres for every 0.1mm wear

The capacity offuel supply to the car during the pitstop is 75 liters per second.

U R wrong. About tires I haven't any reliable source of information, but it isn't 0,1. Fuel pumps are running at 12 l/s due to FIA restrications.

every one of those facts is wrong. apart from 1000 pieces. But its more likely over 10000.

Oh look at me I just need some posts:

Facts:
F1 cars are fast
The red ones win

SPAMMMMMMMM

The most interesting fact is probably the power output of the cars, its a shame that's a secret. Twisted Evil

well its nothing spectacular, somewhere around 800bhp. Which is not all that amazing considering there are some road cars out there with that much.

Whats crazy is that they get that from 2.4L naturally aspirated V8 engines. How? 20,000rpm.

would be nice if you told us your source of that information Wink

I really wonder what you mean about changing tires after 0,1mm wear! since Iīm very sure they use a lot more rubber during all the laps between the pit stops.

what source are you using to get this info from? otherwise i'd have to say spam...

Wrong!

For refueling during a race, teams use identical rigs supplied by one FIA-approved manufacturer. For safety reasons the refueling rate is limited to 12.1 litres per second.

here's one i seem to remember being valid:

at top speeds a F1 car's various wings and spoilers create enough downforce to drive the car on a ceiling - though i guess that would be upforce then heh

The cost of the Formula One steering wheel is about 23000 Euros!
briancoit
lol, if they changed tyres for every 0.1mm of wear, you wouldnt see them going almost bald, and after the warm-up they'd need new tyres, nevermind the race!
Firebreather
The tyre one is miles wrong. There is probably a good 15mm inbetween the grooves, and they've been known to go slick before. The wets would have atleast that aswell.

All about tyres in F1. Because we dont't have data from Brigestone & Michelin Wink

I agree - and with Kimi @ Ferarri in 2007... I think Feeeer-arr-ree will once again be crowned champions.

Or something.
