Now Playing: Formula one Carbon Fiber explained
  • Description:  Many race fans dont 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. Interviews with Ian Goddard, Senior Composites Engineer, ING Renault F1 Team Guy Rowles, Clean Room head, ING Renault F1 Team
