We know F1 is expensive - but did you know a simple wheel nut costs nearly £1000?
And that one F1 team can spend upwards of £50 thousand pounds a weekend on WHEEL NUTS?
Let me explain
Now, F1 wheel nuts haven’t always been that expensive, there has been a long history of steady development to get them where they are now. And actually, in the early days of F1, they used to hammer the wheel nuts on!
Yep, this was because impact guns weren’t a thing. And the other option was using several studs - which take a long time to change.
So F1 cars used these single centrelock nuts - with these wings on the side. Some had 2 and some had three - and the pit crews would carry a mallet to the pitlane to hammer off the nut, change the wheel and hammer on a new one.
