Why Formula 1 TYRE BLANKETS Cost £22,000

🏁 Win a drive in an F1 car here: https://experience.driver61.com Formula 1 Tyre Blankets cost £22,000 PER CAR for an F1 weekend - that’s mental! However, they are packed with INCREDIBLE technology that enables drivers to be quick, straight out of the pits. So, how do these tyre blankets work? And what makes them cost SO MUCH? But why do you need them? It’s all about the rubber in the tyre compound, if you push too hard before the tyres are within the right temperature window, the surface of the tyre is too cold and brittle to generate grip. So if you push on tyres that aren’t generating grip, you wear the surface rapidly - and can cause graining. Which reduces the amount of rubber in contact with the track and ultimately the available grip. So teams and drivers are very careful about how they bring tyres up to temperature. 📹 All source footage can be found here 👉 https://bit.ly/45zdU1w See important Reg A disclosures: https://www.masterworks.com/cd *“net returns” refers to the annualized internal rate of return net of all fees and costs, calculated from the offering closing date to the sale date.
