Thats incredible and fascinating. To how many decimal places does an F1 constructor track mass properties?

Individual parts and assemblies are to the nearest gram or 0.03 of an ounce
I'm not right in the head so let my OCD run free on my own designed parts, I track weight to the nearest 0.1g for individual parts and laminated ply pieces. When counting laminate thicknesses I work to 0.001mm for each individual ply
A single laminated part contains 100's or in some cases more than a 1000 individual pieces of carbon, machined inserts and core etc. All the little bits add up to a slightly larger little bit so everything is worth counting
I give myself a weight saving target which is on the high side of extremely difficult and the low side of impossible

Nah, just a lucky guess
