Making Sense Of Formula One Racing
Formula One racing as it is today evolved from EU Grand Prix racing of the early 1900s. Although it still is considered an EU sport, more of each season’s World Championship events are held at locations outside of Europe than in Europe itself. The top Formula One racing teams do have western european home bases.
Formula One racing is the most regulated in all of auto racing. Restrictions are placed on each component of the vehicles. Constructors must be inventive to build a vehicle that will out-perform the other Formula One racing vehicles and yet meet all the FIA ( international Automobile Federation ) laws.
Each race is held at a different location. Some locations have traditionally always been part of Formula One racing. Monte Carlo is the ideal example. The Monaco Grand Prix held at Monte Carlo has become linked with Formula One racing as it is always part of the series. Originally Formula One racing Grand Prix were held on closed public streets and the Monaco Grand Prix continues to follow this tradition. Newer venues around the planet, like the one at Bahrain, are held on tracks that’ve been designed especially to meet the wants of Formula One racing. Teams must transport their autos, hardware and spare parts to each race.
The World Championship season in Formula One racing lasts from early spring through fall each year. Races are three-day events with qualifying and testing run on Fri. and Sat.. Qualification runs are timed sessions. Beginning position is based on performance during these qualification sessions.
A race day in Formula One racing is a loud, fast, high-energy time for drivers, groups and spectators. The race is composed of multiple laps around the circuit. This is true whether the race is held on public streets or on a racetrack. A special area alongside of the track is chosen as the pit area. The pits are where groups perform work on their cars. Each auto will need fuel added and tires replaced in the race. Additional parts will also need to be corrected or replaced. Pit crews are well known for their speed.
Formula One racing marshals use flags to speak to drivers during a race. In addition to the flags, a GPS system in each auto indicates any current flag waving for the section of track the automobile is on at the time.
Formula One racing awards a World Championship title on one driver and one team each season. At the end of each race the top drivers are awarded points based mostly on their final ranking. Teams earn points for every one of the two automobiles they have entered in the race. At the end of the season the driver and team with the most points are declared World champs.
