Formula 1 or F1 is a motor racing sport involving one seater high speed vehicles. In fact they are not just high speed cars but they are voted to be the fastest cars in circuit racing. A typical Formula 1 race car would go up to 360km/h and has to build up a lot of aerodynamic force in order to negotiate a corner. There is something about the sports cars and the people who drive them that grabs everyone’s attention regardless and demands a lot of esteem.The Formula 1 world is quite different than the rally or stock cars; they may look small and simple but controlling them needs high skill as well as ability to work under pressure. This is why we give much respect to guys like Schumacher or Valentino Rossi.
The Formula 1 races are often organized in circuits known as Grand Prix. Results to determine the world champion are obtained by averaging the points acquired in all successful circuit races.
During races, the Formula 1 cars need constant mechanical attention in intervals throughout the race. As said before, F1 cars can reach ridiculous levels of speed. The speed is so much that even the tires can’t handle it for long.
This is why there is always a driver’s team waiting at intervals to change the tires and check the car engine of faults.
The Formula 1 circuit is also crazy during a race. It is a truly challenging situation for the driver to to balance the car while it hovers at such top speed. This is why you need great mental and physical abilities as a driver to handle such a sports car.
The greatest of all is high concentration on the track and we can’t forget the abilities to control the pressure from other opponents trying to outdo you.
The greatest F1 driver never misses out in practice; it needs hours and hours of practice to master both the car and the track. It is even said that F1 drivers can literally sweat off 3kgs of their weight after a complete circuit race.
But, once you get everything in order, you can sure share the same platform with the famous Formula 1 care racers like Hamilton or Rossi.
