Many race fans don't know how or why a modern F1 car is constructed of carbon fibre -- even the steering wheel is made from it. This film looks at the reasons why, and follows the production process, from the carbon fibre sheet being cut with a pair of scissors in a sealed room, right through to Fernando Alonso driving out of the pit garage cocooned in a carbon fibre safety cell designed to withstand the force of a 200mph crash.
