f1 car don't have valve springs they have floating valve dampeners...
thats were the engine oil under presure pushes down on valves to keep them closed.
this is because they ca can spin up to about 30'000 rpm (that is the rpm cap that the fia says is to much) most rev over about 17-20,000 rpms ..... idy car and cart cars run triple springs sorry nerd moment
