For the last two years the Sauber F1 Team mechanics have been using their downtime to slice a Formula One racing car lengthwise down the middle with the precision of true craftsmen. Chief Designer Matt Morris quite literally gets underneath the skin of the F1 car, pointing out where and how the individual components are located within the chassis. Everything is packed in pretty tightly. Sergio Pérez is also on hand to demonstrate the driver's seating position.

As some of you were asking about the music used in this video: We weren't able to find the artists' names, but the song titles are Rumour Mill (first song) and Countermeasure (second song).

Having just read the story of Matt Morris in F1 Racing magazine, I had to look up the video and a very good one in showing how an F-1 car is packaged. Excellent

[Sauber F1 Team]

Thanks, Joseph! Feel free to share. And don't miss the related Cutaway Insights series on our channel.

what is the small tank under the drivers legs? does it carry the drivers drink for the race?

[Sauber F1 Team]

No, that's the onboard fire extinguisher.

[Fernando Ruiz]

great video!! how do you adapt the drivers height for the pedals, and the crashing gap so you don't break the regulations?

[Sauber F1 Team]

It would be rather vicious to adapt the drivers height, wouldn't it? ;-) Within limits, we may move the pedals, but that's about it.

[Sauber F1 Team]

All we're saying is: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! If you do it anyway let us now how long it took you! ;-)

[tunnelvision1982]

Really great video - thank you Sauber. However, two years??

If you seriously want to shed pounds, you should do a google search Mimmu Fat Blast. You are bound to get the body you deserve.

How do you cut an F1 car in half? With a saw? Laser?

He said it took 2 years so whichever method they used, they were very careful.

[VJ SWORD]

Great video, but they didn't show much on the engine or transmission...

[koowizzl]

so whats the bottom of the car made of? it has to be some pretty strong and slightly heavy metal right?

[dimos47ki7]

can you send me an F1 car to give it a try please? :)

excellent video. always wanted to see how thinks fit in an F1 car...the closest i've seen to what you've done was an "exploded" view of an F1 car in Nurburgring...but this is way more detailed!!!

So where does the driver keep his mid-race apple then?
