Formula 1 Basics

Jaroslav Filip

You may ask what is Formula 1. So for the people who do not know, Formula 1 is the best thing that could have motorsport met. If you ever watched you could know that this sport is not just about how cars drive around in circles (that is indycar and nascar, most boring things in motorsport) Formula 1 is also called the queen of motorsport.

Formula 1 is a single seater racing with 10 teams, who compete with 2 cars and 2 drivers each, so there are 20 cars and 20 drivers at one short track going really fast. It has a long history, I will be talking about that in some of the next chapters. But some drivers are known even by people who never watched and do not know about it at all. You surely know names like Schumacher, Hamilton, Niki Lauda, Prost or Senna, these are the most iconic names in F1. 

But F1 is not only about who is faster, it is a big part of it, but you need to have good strategy, fast pit stops and more things, it will be in the next chapters. But if you have never watched F1, then you should, it is a nice sport full of tension, fast cars, sometimes a bit aggressive drivers and in last races a lot of crashes.
