One thing I love about F1 is how everything is just engineered or thought-out to a (seemingly) ridiculous level. In this case, the impact wrench - they've taken something so basically simple, and made it into something that looks like NASA designed it to work on spaceships. I love that. =) I can't stop talking to guys at work about all the teensy little things in F1 that get tons of thought and attention, like I'll mention, "Do you know, at this point they are literally concerned about the aerodynamics of the damn WHEEL NUTS", and everyone just kind of wanders off, shaking their heads....
