From the mine to the grid. How Komatsu machines help build Atlassian Williams F1 Team’s FW48

O que aconteceu

As we go about our everyday lives, we’re constantly interacting with things made possible by mining – often without realising it.

From the phones in our hands to the cars we drive, almost everything relies on core minerals and commodities that begin their journey in the earth.

Along the way, there is a chance that leading heavy equipment manufacturer Komatsu has played a role.

Por que importa

A pauta interessa a quem acompanha Ciência porque altera expectativas e decisões práticas.

Consequência prática

This is also true of the Atlassian Williams F1 Team’s FW48 challenger.

You may think a modern race car is just made of carbon fibre, but that is only part of the story.

Beneath the surface of the machine lies a myriad of advanced materials across the powertrain, electronics, bodywork and chassis, each playing a vital role in the car’s design and performance at the highest level.
