Every gram counts: the extreme measures to make Hamilton even faster on the track tears
Formula 1, Every gram counts. Literally. Mercedes dominated the first four Formula 1 races of the season, and that is no coincidence. In addition to building the best car, do they look at the renstal after all, everything to minimize weight to lug. And these measures are pretty extreme. So racing Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas around with seamless underwear and stripped laces. And that is only the beginning...

Mercedes boss is in the current Formula 1 season, is an understatement. In the first four races divided, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas were some victories together. With profit of one, occupied the other each time the second podium. Four perfect one-two so, and that does not need to be a coincidence.

SunSport i spoke with John Owen, chief designer at the renstal, to the details behind the very fast cars to find out. What turns out? Mercedes resistance truly heaven and earth for every ounce to save. Thus, the speeding car drivers seamless underwear, making them ten grams lighter roads. Also opt for lightweight shoes made of fire resistant material is Nomex which the laces have been shortened. So weigh any shoe less than 50 grams less, or 100 grams in total.
