They can soften the ride with torsion bars, support the driver's seat to alter the load going into a corner, and switch between slick and treaded tires. Early exposure to those details "explains why people like [Hamilton] are that good," says Martin Hines, boss of the Hertfordshire-based Zip Kart Young Guns...
