The Cost of a Formula 1 Car - Lewis Hamilton

[kevinballard]

Nice that he gave respect and recognition to the entire team.

[charlesmiller]

He gave the honest answer. Even if they built one to order, the equipment and crew just to start the damn thing would add some tens of thousands to the total.

[charlescroes]

He's one of the best F-1 representatives in the business. Super talented driver.

[philiptownsend]

He's always been a great communicator and very polite humble agreeable man.
A great ambassador for the UK - Sir Lewis Hamilton.

[FrenchFries]

Formula 1 cars don’t typically focus on speed itself but the acceleration, handling, and aerodynamics to reduce drag are top-notch

[stephenleonchase]

People forget some of the best engineers in the world work in formula 1

[colebuechel]

Like him or not, his talent aside, Hamilton has helped provide some of the most insight we've ever gotten in the sport. He regularly explains things and does it pretty well, it's cool to help us understand some things

[fennugreek-gszb]

It's a great example of taking a question that is too simple and giving an answer that gives you a better understanding of what F1 is actually about.

Their wage bill alone was $114.8 million

"How much does a Formula 1 car cost?"

"I don't know, not many people buy them."

[kariithimwangi]

"It's about how fast it goes through corners"
*American cars have left the chat*

[glitch]

One of the coolest things is Mercedes created this model to determine “the perfect lap” and Lewis Hamilton was able to save a few fractions of a second off that.. crazy asf

[Rasscasse]

They don’t just turn like no other car, the braking forces are truly immense. They decelerate like no other car too.
Combination of those two things means a driver has to work hard just to hold his head up straight, that’s why they have huge necks.
You gotta.

[WilliamStewart]

I had no idea there was 1300 people on a team, thats wild.

[kareemalmond]

for anyone wondering they cost $12-16 million, then they can spend up to another 150mil on car upgrades or things like transportation

[mo-a]

Sir Lewis Hamilton ! Incredibly laid back, chilled out, amazingly knowledgeable, superbly talented cool gentleman. Tremendous respect and admiration for him.

[HassanMansuri]

It’s not a car, it’s a project. A live project with many things keeping it together.

[tagbonwogu]

The cornering speed is the difference. No other machine built by man can go through corners how a F1 car does. Unbelievable speeds

[Stand]

The ultimate team sport. What fascinated me is the changing of tyres at pit stops. The sheer speed and precision of those guys is amazing stuff.

He always gives credit to the Whole team. 👍
