Formula (F1)
Formula 1 (F1) is the highest class of international single-seater car racing, sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).
Here’s a quick breakdown:
• Cars: Open-wheel, open-cockpit, highly engineered machines that can exceed 350 km/h (217 mph).
• Races: Called Grands Prix, held on various circuits around the world — both purpose-built tracks and city street circuits.
• Season: A series of races where drivers and teams (called constructors) earn points.
• Championships: Two titles are awarded each season — the Drivers’ Championship (for the best driver) and the Constructors’ Championship (for the best team).
• Famous teams: Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull, McLaren.
• Famous drivers: Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher.
It’s a mix of speed, strategy, and cutting-edge technology — plus a bit of drama both on and off the track.
If you want, I can explain how an F1 race weekend works from Friday practice to Sunday race — that’s where the real excitement builds.
