But even minor damages cost ten thousands of Euros. What is the price tag of a front spoiler or a base plate? Autovisie journalist Sjoerd van Bilsen puts those prices in perspective.

The most expensive part is the monocoque but what does a steering wheel, an engine or a front spoiler cost? The next time that you see Red Bull racing driver Max Verstappen or Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel thrown their steering wheel out of the cockpit, you have to realize that when that square steering wheel gets damaged, you can buy a new Toyota GT86 for the same amount. And when the front wing gets completely damaged, the team will have a financial loss comparable to the price of a new BMW M4.
