How F1 teams ensure 100% reliability with this secret weapon

There has been a lot of concerns about reliability in Formula 1 as teams become even more restricted in the amount of parts they can use throughout a season to cut costs.

Back at their factories, F1 teams put parts through non-destructive testing before they make it to the track.

Mercedes Test and Simulator Driver, Anthony Davidson speaks to the teams NDT Technician, Kamila Wasiura about the incredibly important process in F1 engineering.
