In Formula 1, the fuel tanks are now made of military material. This is necessary when you see the impact these cars have to endure at high speed. If the fuel could catch fire, the driver wouldn't be safe just in front of the tank. Safety in F1 has improved a lot over the years though.
In the Tech Tuesday video from Red Bull's partner, Pinkham explains what's special about today's fuel tanks. She explains the material it's made of, and the instruments used to precisely measure the state of the tank. A fine piece of engineering.
