F1 engines cost over £7 Million each and these pistons are one of the key components that help them produce over 1000hp. But why does it cost 1000 times more than the piston out of your road car? It turns out there are many very good reasons for insane costs. #Formula1 #Engineering #Driver61 #F1Pistons | Driver 61 | Facebook
