These are really works of art in terms of their construction and the modern day f1 engine is something else even with them being knocked down from the old days the power and now the reliability of them is just amazing

Yah, the revs rise so fast too, awesome stuff.

We had some pistons in the other day for cosworth, they wanted them to be Sub zero hardened in our hot and cold room. does crazy things to crystal structures, the micrography is stunning.

those exhausts get a "little" hot then ?

plus... shoulden;t they have left it ticking over for a while at the end to cool the engine down ?  tut tut tut !

Orange Arrows??? Thats a 3.0 V10
