F1 Car - Breakdown of Components

The Formula 1 Car is a great example in terms of disassembly, where the heirarchy between component modules and sub-assemblies are designed to maximise maintainability. There strong variations in component longevity, ranging from a set of tyres/wheels, which can last 1 qualifying session, to an engine of chasis which can last up to a season. Although this is the most extreme in terms of engineering, the same theories are applied constantly, throughout the automotive, shipping and aircraft industries.
