Default 11 Years of F1 Wheel Nuts

Red Bull puts out 11 years of the wheel nuts they have been using front and rear. Very cool to see how big the front axles are!

Very cool. Also very amusing to see how incredibly little he actually explains about them. Still super-secret...

It looked like Ferrari could have used some trick nuts today.

Good point... I was thinking: Gee, can you tell me a bit more than: "They are complicated and expensive.". Might as well tell us the latest front nut is dark red and a gun metal greyish colour...

My 20 years of wheel nut story, isnt as long.... it's a picture of 20 little steel nuts on a table, still being used today! my pit stops take 7 mins for all 4 wheels by myself in the paddock, with hand crafted final torquing at 85lb-ft of torque..
