F1 cars only have one securing nut per wheel. I could see a fixed center shaft with a rotating cylinder for the wheel. The cap is part of the wheel but moves separately and indexes itself on the shaft during tire changes. Wow, they just took a relatively simple and cheap part of the car and made 10 X more expensive and complex!
