those spark plugs are hardly 2 bucks. They're smaller than your little finger, lighter than a feather, absolutely proprietary to each engine, and the manufacturer is constantly badgered to make it lighter and better - as is every component vendor for an f1 car. Hopefully for Red Bull, this is good news, because a broken header can cause significant damage. Bad plug? who knows, maybe they can shut that cylinder down and minimize the damage. They only get eight this year. For 19 races
