Here's The Ridiculous Amount Of Work And Effort That Goes Into One F1 Car Bolt

An F1 car is made up of millions of components, many of which are tiny and not visible to us. Red Bull decided to track the life of a bolt and it’s a brilliantly intricate story of just how much effort goes into getting it on the RB12

This bolt, more specifically, is for the front suspension and is called RB12-FS-00663-02. All F1 parts have to be named and documented, so the teams know just what’s going on the car, what’s working and what isn’t.

Many of us watch F1 cars flying around race tracks without even thinking of the journey even one component takes from being designed, made and then getting fitted. Red Bull has lifted the lid on the amount of effort it takes to make even a tiny part of a car.

One of that bolt probably costs
As much as a Mclaren 570s to make.
