“The display is a breathtaking work of art and brings a whole new perspective to literally everything that goes into creating a modern day Formula 1 car. This uniquely impressive work has enabled the chassis’ detailed systems and components to become visible, from the large bodywork items such as the engine cover and floor to the minutiae of the powertrain such as gear ratios and clutch plates,” states the official press release.
Proving that their F1 car is more than the sum of its parts, each of the 3,200 components has been carefully arranged for maximum visual impact by Dutch artist Paul Veroude, revealing the inner-most secrets of how the high-performance machine works. Every piece is suspended individually, hung by wire from a purpose-made frame. The chassis and its associated components were all supplied by the MERCEDES GP PETRONAS Formula One Team, while the engine came by way of Mercedes-Benz HighPerformanceEngines.
“It is fantastic to see View Suspended II here at Mercedes-Benz World. Formula 1 is a sport watched by over 580 million people worldwide annually, so to be able to see a racing car in this way is something very special and a unique look at the heart of the sport,” commented Nick Fry, CEO of MERCEDES GP PETRONAS.
