The spoilers produce so much downforce the car can drive upside down at 70mph. The steering wheel has 23+ buttons controlling everything from diff lockup, traction control, engine braking, air fuel mix, brake bias, to launch control. Ferrari alone spends almost 450 million dollars a year on their team budget (enough to run 30 nextel cup cars for an entire year). There's a reason it's called formula number 1
Thanks ccarnel! For your explaination of F1. This is what I was asking for.
