    This breaks down thousands of hours before an F1 car starts because it takes thousands of people to design them

      I’m pretty sure the Lamborghini car also took quite a bit of people-interaction. Road compliance and all, you know?

        I actually do know. I briefly worked in F1, and I also separately registered my own car with a properly hand built chassis to NY state registration standards.

        They are orders of magnitude apart. It’s like saying “both this IKEA glass and the space shuttle took quite a bit of engineering”. Trust me, more hours were put into any mundane F1 part than almost any other vehicle out there
