After spending the past six weeks breaking down the individual devices behind race cars` explosive power, in this video, extreme engineer Jimmy de Ville and science presenter Greg Foot take us inside the `brain` of Formula 1, which pulls it all together.
And what better way to do that than by getting a regular human brain (AKA Greg) to control a real-life Go Kart race. The results are pretty incredible, and show just how many units need to come together to power Formula 1 cars up to speeds of almost 370 km/h (229 mph).
And we probably don`t need to say this anymore, but don`t try this at home.
