    Toto Wolff once called his Mercedes Formula 1 cars the "fastest laboratory in the world". While this may be a cliché that makes our eyes roll faster than a Pirelli, it's undeniable. When you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on shaving tenths off lap times, creating something that could change the world is inevitable.

Technology built for—and that has built—some of the fastest race cars in the world can be found almost everywhere. In fact, I'd hazard a guess that you bump into something inspired by F1 nearly every week.  There's something ironic about how one of the most glamorous sports in the world is responsible for making some of the most interesting under-the-radar technology. Perhaps we shouldn't roll our eyes. Wolff is right.
