The Thrill of Formula 1 Racing

Formula 1, often called the pinnacle of motorsport, is a global racing championship where

the fastest, most advanced cars and the best drivers compete. The sport began

in 1950, and today features 20 drivers racing for 10 teams across tracks around the

world. An F1 car is a technological marvel – lightweight carbon fiber chassis, hybrid turbo engines,

and advanced aerodynamics allow it to reach speeds over 350 km/h, while pulling forces

stronger than a jet fighter in corners. Each season is made up of Grand Prix weekends,

with practice, qualifying, and the main race. Points are awarded to the top 10 finishers,

and by the end of the season, the driver and team with the most points become World Champions.
