Cutaway F1 Sauber

Yesterday the world of Formula One, the very pinnacle of motorsports,  became a little less secretive with the posting of this video by the Sauber F1 Team, and in doing so, allowed fans to better understand where the components of a F1 car are located.

For the last two years the Sauber F1 Team mechanics have been using their downtime to slice a Formula One racing car lengthwise down the middle with the precision of true craftsman. Chief Designer Matt Morris quite literally gets underneath the skin of the F1 car, pointing out where and how the individual components are located within the chassis. Everything is packed tightly. Sergio Perez is also on hand to demonstrate the driver's seating position.



Two thumbs up to the folk at Sauber for coming up with this great idea and for sharing it with us. Thanks for reading.
