How F1 pistons are made This is an F1 piston, and I visited the Cosworth factory to see how it’s made from start to finish. 🛠️​​ The process is mind-blowing! First, the design team focuses on perfecting the top (crown) and bottom (underside) of the piston. Then, using advanced simulations, they make sure it’s strong enough for the demands of an F1 engine. The real magic starts with forging—pressing hot metal into a mould to form the piston’s basic shape. 🔥 After heat treatment for extra durab

A single F1 piston, including its development and manufacture, can cost over £50,000. There’s no doubt, they’re incredible engineering - but I wanted to understand more about how they’re made, so I went to Cosworth to understand the life of a piston - from design, all the way to the dyno - and every step in between - and it genuinely was one of the most interesting days I’ve ever had. #Pistons #Cosworth #Formula1 | Driver 61
