F1 Best Quotes

The secret to modern F1 is not really to do with big ticket items; it is about hundreds of thousands of small items, optimized to the nth degree. People think that things like engines are based upon high-level strategic decisions, but they are not. What is an engine except many iterations of small components? You start with a sensible design, but it is the iterative process that guides you to the best solution. Success is about creating the most effective optimization loop.

In my experience, the best engineers are those who excel at these fundamentals and are able to break down complex problems into very simple ones. As the famous quote suggests "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" and in F1 this holds very true.
