F1 CARS There are around 80,000 pieces used to assemble an F1 race car. Formula 1 tires have a lifespan of just over 60 miles (100 km) - compared with 37,000 to 62,000 miles on a regular tire. On city courses, manhole covers have to be welded shut for races because the force of an F1car speeding past them can launch them into the air. If you hit the brakes in an F1 car going full speed, the force you would feel is equivalent to slamming into a brick wall.
