> You wouldn't hire an F1 engineer to design retail automobile machining, because both the hire and the machining process would be overkill. Not only overkill, but detrimental to the goals of the retail market. The tolerances in an F1 car are so tight that the engine needs warm oil through it before it can even be started. Great for maximum performance, not great for the driver that wants to just hop in the car, turn the key, and go.
