Wonder how many days that took?

Awesome! Made for the molds/production of the CF wings, right?

I'd love to have a few hanging in my man cave. Great conversational piece!

Good God, don't give something like that to Lewis Hamilton. He could really bulldoze his way through the field.

I'm pretty sure they use 3D printers to make the molds for all the CF bits on a modern F1 car. (I've been wrong before, though! :))
This looks to me like a promotional video for the 5-axis machine manufacturer - ie "look what we can do!!"

Not unheard of...

Back in 2009 McLaren manufactured a wing entirely from aluminium as it did not have time to skin it with carbon ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix. It was then filled with tungsten to ensure it was the correct weight!
