Clearly, this is from last year but I never knew...

I'm not sure, but I don't think this is unusual.

Can't remember if it was for last year, or the year before but a good friend made the carbon 'chassis' (as they term it in that vid) of Vettel's wheels for the season (in the order of 12-15 iirc - assume some get given away to key sponsors?). It would have made sense if they were the same for him to have used the mould to produce enough for both drivers if they were the same... He never mentioned Webber's wheel at all, even to state a colleague of his was making them.

Dug through my old text messages - he did a Rolf Harris*.
