What is Formula One?• Formula One is the highest class of single-seat auto racing

that is sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)

• The "formula”, designated in the name, refers to a set of rules, to which all participants' cars must conform

• The F1 season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held worldwide on purpose-built F1 circuits and public roads.

Facts about Formula One• Grand Prix racing began in 1906 and became the most

popular type internationally in the second half of the twentieth century

• The races are required to be held on tracks graded 1 (formerly A), the highest grade a track can receive by the FIA. Most events are held in rural locations on purpose-built tracks, but there are several events in city centres throughout the world

• While Europe is the sport's traditional base, and hosts about half of each year's races, the sport's scope has expanded significantly and an increasing number of Grand Prix are held on other continents

• Formula One cars are the fastest road course racing cars in the world

• The racing drivers are required to be holders of valid Super Licences, the highest class of racing licence issued by the FIA

• Formula One cars race at speeds of up to approximately 380 km/h (240 mph) with engines currently limited in performance to a maximum of 15,000 RPM.

• F1 had a total global television audience of 425 million people during the course of the 2014 season

• The results of each race are evaluated using a points system to determine two annual World Championships, one for drivers, one for constructors.

The Formula One Car• A Formula One car is a single-seat, open cockpit, open-

wheel racing car with substantial front and rear wings, and an engine positioned behind the driver, intended to be used in competition at Formula One racing events.

• The Formula One regulations specify that cars must be constructed by the racing teams themselves, though the design and manufacture can be outsourced.

• Every F1 car on the grid is capable of going from 0 to 160 km/h (100 mph) and back to 0 in less than five seconds.

Racing and Strategies• A Formula One Grand Prix event spans a weekend. It begins

with two free practice sessions on Friday and one free practice on Saturday

• A qualifying session is held after the last free practice session. This session determines the starting order for the race on Sunday.

• The race begins with a warm-up lap, after which the cars assemble on the starting grid in the order they qualified.

• This lap is often referred to as the formation lap, as the cars lap in formation with no overtaking
